Attend one of the most Spectacular Vintage Races in the world - and Party ARPCA style! The Pittsburgh Vintage grand Prix, now in its 36th year, is our Club’s biggest annual event. Come join hundreds of your fellow Club members, guests from other regions, and friends as we again gather on the lawn at Schenley Park to enjoy our cars, races and above all, camaraderie that has grown over the years. Whether this is your first PVGP weekend, or 36th, now is the time to register and get this event on your calendar. The PVGP takes place in scenic Schenley Park in the heart of Pittsburgh. This is one of 2 vintage races that occur on public streets in the world, the other of course being Monaco. It is also our largest fundraiser of the year – proceeds are donated through PVGP to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny Valley School . Last year was a great success for us and for the PVGP overall, raising $360,000 for 2017, and cracking the $5 million mark since its inception!

This year promises to be another fantastic event, and once again sunshine is predicted for the ENTIRE weekend! To top off the festivities, we will have a very special gathering of Porsches on display. To celebrate Porsches rich racing history, we will be featuring the Race Cars of Porsche! You’ll not want to miss the special race cars that we are gathering for this preeminent event. Besides the race cars, we will have the usual large gathering of many other very special and significant Porsches on display. In addition, we will once again feature the hugely popular Top 10 Peoples’ Choice Concours, which is open to all registered Porsches. Here are the highlights of the weekend of activities to enjoy:
