July 11-20, 2014

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop ‘n Save, started out as a single single day race in Schenley Park in 1983. 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. The complete Grand Prix schedule can seem overwhelming so we hope this page helps layout our entire event. Basically it is two weekends of vintage racing with supporting car shows and events in between. There is also a Kick-Off Rallye that occurs on July 6, outside the 10 day window.
KICK-OFF RALLYE

Sunday July 6 First car off at 11:31 AM

Car enthusiasts match their driving skills against a “mystery course” through the streets of Pittsburgh. This 2-3 hour event combines your driving and navigation skills. It is a fun, casual way to kick-off our Race Week. Rallye starts on Craig Street in Oakland and finishes at the Spaghetti Warehouse in the strip district.
