About this event
Allegheny Region Porsche Club of America
2024 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
July 13th + August 3rd and 4th
Plan to attend the 42nd annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix with ARPCA. Join hundreds of your fellow club members, guests from other regions, and friends as we gather on “Porsche Field” in Schenley Park to enjoy fine automotive culture, vintage races, and the camaraderie that defines PVGP weekend. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is our club’s largest fundraiser of the year with a portion of net proceeds donated through the PVGP charity to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Valley School, and other ARPCA-approved nonprofit organizations.
This year promises to be an outstanding event featuring a multitude of Porsche Club and PVGP events spanning 11 days. Porsche Field patrons enjoy high-quality amenities including a catered lunch from Mission BBQ, Dining and Registration Tents replete with linen tablecloths, cooling fans, unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, Live Music, high-value Raffle Prizes, and People’s Choice Awards. The club’s PVGP Committee utilizes a streamlined check-in process where attendees register through Motorsport Registration (MSR) and receive an email from PVGP_Reg@arpca.com with a dash plaque and QR code “ticket” as attachments. As members drive up to the Porsche Field, we will scan the QR code and have wristbands, raffle tickets, and the PVGP program pre-staged at the Registration tent.
NEW EVENT for July 13th, 2024! This year, we're combining three events: The pre-PVGP Driving Tour, the ARPCA HPDE picnic, and the PVGP Kick-Off Party. Festivities begin around 5:00 p.m. after the Driving Tour returns and the DE finishes the last run group.
Remember, you must Pre-Register to guarantee a spot in Porsche Field. Parking is limited to 230 cars each day. With increasing attendance from across the country, space is limited.
