"Evening of Speed"

We’re thrilled to announce the return of the PVGP Drivers Reception in 2025, with an exciting new location! Last year, the event was held at the Frick Fine Arts Library, but with the Hillclimb expanding to include 75 additional racers, we’re moving the celebration to the scenic front lawn of Phipps Conservatory right beside the Motul Hillclimb paddock.

This unique evening provides a rare opportunity to meet the drivers and their crews in a relaxed and social atmosphere. Guests can enjoy car displays, meet-and-greets, and engaging presentations, all set against the historic and elegant backdrop of Phipps Conservatory.

We are excited to announce that Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty Company, will be the sponsor. Ramsey Potts, our Grand Marshal and a Senior Car Specialist and founding partner of Broad Arrow, will be on hand to share his insights.

From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the street in front of Phipps transforms into a vibrant gathering space, where guests can mingle with racers right in the heart of the Hillclimb paddock. Drivers from the Oval will also make their way over to join in the festivities, making this an unforgettable start to race weekend. Mark your calendar for this exclusive celebration of motorsport, community, and camaraderie — only at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
