British Sports Car Lap of the Track
Pittsburgh Int’l Race Complex
Saturday, July 16, 2022 at Noon
The PVGP is hosting the Kastner Cup Triumph Races during our Historics. You can be a part of this special event and participate in the lap of the track in your own British car during the lunch break on Saturday, July 16. Open to any British car of any year; Triumph, MG, Jaguar, Austin Healey, Mini, McLaren, Lotus, Bentley, Aston Martin, etc. Fill your car and wave to the crowd as you take the 2.8-mile circuit of the track. You’ll see parts of the track that are not visible to a spectator.

Eligible Cars
All Triumph cars are eligible for this parade lap (no motorbikes allowed). We are also allowing any British sports car made prior to 1983.
Track Lap
Participants for the parade will line up on the starting grid starting no sooner than noon on Saturday after the Formula Ford Race Group departs the grid for their scheduled 11:50 AM race. If there are no incidents and we are on schedule the lap is scheduled to start at 12:15 PM. Parade participants will follow a pace car for a single lap of the 2.8 mile track. The parade is limited to 125 cars and should take no more than 25 minutes. After your parade lap of the track, you will have enough time to park your car and get in place to watch the Kastner Cup Race scheduled for 1:15 PM. Sorry, there is not enough time for you to take a second lap so it is limited to one lap per car. Historics Race Schedule
