Vintage Charity Lap Experience

The Grand Prix’s Charity Lap Experience is an exciting and rare opportunity for spectators to experience a real lap of the race track at lunchtime Saturday at Pittsburgh International Race Complex.

A Unique Experience!

The Grand Prix’s Charity Vintage Lap Experience is an exciting opportunity for spectators and race fans to experience a real lap of the race track in an authentic vintage race car. It is available on both weekends. Where else can you take a lap of the race track and raise funds for charity? Our racers enjoy this almost as much as the passengers!

 

Due to the closing of the Panther Hollow Bridge, there will not be any Charity Laps at Schenley Park in 2025

Pitt Race – July 12-13, 2025

At lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we conduct the PVGP Track Rides for Charity. Our racers and track instructors take spectators for a lap of the 2.8 mile racetrack. The cost id $50 for a single lap.

Our generous vintage racers take time out of their lunch break to share their cars with our participants. The lap takes about 5 minutes. The racers drive at less than race speed, but you will certainly experience all the sights, sounds and smells of a real vintage lap.

In addition to being a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it also helps raise funds for our charities. Many thanks to our drivers for contributing their time as well as fuel and tires for this worthy cause.

You can purchase your tickets to the PVGP Historics and the Vintage Rides HERE now.
