Hey guys, just got the letter for the PVGP this year. It will be held between the 8th and the 16th of july with events throughout the entire time, and then the car show on the 15th, and the races on the 16th. Here is the list of events.
Many think the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix takes place every third weekend in July. While it is true that our tribute to motorsport history culminates that magical weekend in Schenley Park, our event has grown into a 10-day celebration spanning six venues and two counties. The links in this section will give you just a taste of what has become PVGP Race Week in southwestern Pennsylvania.
