About this event
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix started racing at Pittsburgh International Race Complex when the track opened in 2004 and we were the first race there when the track expanded to 2.8-miles in 2016. Combined with our vintage races in Schenley Park the following weekend, the PVGP provides the ideal combination of vintage and historic racing bookending a 10-day motorsport festival.

VRG PARTNERSHIP The VRG and the PVGP are partnering and combining efforts for the PVGP Historics at Pitt Race starting this summer. We look forward to a great weekend of racing and hope that many members come back for the second weekend at Schenley Park

Entry fees are suggested donations and are tax-deductible. We stage charity rides to raise funds for charity. Your participation is appreciated. These rides provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for race fans. Please consider participating on Saturday and Sunday.
