Feel the roar of vintage horsepower at the PVGP Historics, held at the Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
If you’re drawn to speed, muscle, and raw racing energy, this is your weekend. Since 2004, racers from across the country have converged on this 2.8-mile purpose-built track, just 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, for intense wheel-to-wheel battles featuring iconic cars from the golden era of racing. Expect to see legends like Mustangs, Corvettes, Jaguars, BMWs, Porsches, and Alfa Romeos in action.
Stroll through the open paddock to get up close to the machines and meet the drivers. Enjoy the racing from multiple vantage points around the track. Food trucks, beverage stations, and sponsor displays—including Helltown Brewing, the Official Beer of the PVGP—are located throughout the facility.
There’s more than just spectating—take part in the action with race car lunch rides, autocross sessions, and karting. Special spectator parking areas and on-site activities make it a full-throttle experience for fans of all ages.
