Kick-Off Rallye

Sunday, July 6, 2025

The PVGP is gearing up for our Kick-Off Rallye at Dual Devils Garage in 2025. Our Rallyemaster is planning a route through the backroads of Washington County.

Our Kick-Off Rallye is truly the kick-off event of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, as it occurs one week before our Race Week. The competition consists of a combined Monte Carlo/Gimmick rally requiring no prior experience.  You can compete in any vehicle you like – any year, any make – no restrictions. We welcome unique and different cars. With Lotus as the Marque and Mazda Miata as the Spotlight, we expect a large contingent of each – special prizes will be awarded.

What is a Rallye?

You don’t have to be a racer or have experience in a rally competition to enjoy our Kick-Off Rallye. Each year it helps us kick off the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Any car enthusiast can register for a fun but competitive mystery course that will test your driving, navigational and trivia skills through the western PA countryside.

Chuck Larouere returned as Rallyemaster in 2021 and brought the latest technology. We utilized Richta Rally so all competitors can download the app for free and it automatically acknowledges as you pass the electronic checkpoints. No volunteers are required on the course and it’s all touchless! You will know your score and standing while you drive! Now, everyone can enjoy participating in the rally, as no checkpoint crews are required. Just like magic!
