PA: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Rallye

The 43rd Kick-Off Rallye, the kick-off event of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, takes place Sunday, July 6th, starting at Dual Devils Garage.

The Rallye occurs one week before our PVGP 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.

Any motorsport enthusiast can register for a fun but competitive mystery course to test their driving, navigational, and trivia skills through the Pittsburgh countryside. Paul MacIntyre and Chuck Larouere are already planning new twists for this year.

Your $80 entry donation includes your spot in the Kick-Off Rallye with a cookout for the driver and navigator. Additional passengers and meals can be purchased for $30 each. Registration is 930-1100 AM, with a Mandatory Drivers Meeting 11-1115 AM, and the first car departs at 1130 AM. Meals will be served as the vehicles return, with awards at 430 PM.

Multiple checkpoints are located early along the route and are shown in the route instructions with approximate mileage and the time the vehicle is due to cross the timing line. The tour should take 2.5 hours to complete and will all be on paved roads.
