2013 Events


July 12-21, 2013

Many think the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop ‘n Save, is only a weekend race in Schenley Park. While it is true that our tribute to motorsport history culminates that magical weekend, our event has blossomed 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.
