MINI Marque of the Year Events

MINI of Pittsburgh hosts this car show on German Hill. They have a shaded private area with a view of Turn 13. MINI owners have always been great supporters of the Grand Prix Car Show and are well represented on the track – they are the perfect cars to race through Schenley Park!

MINI is the PVGP’s 2024 Marque of the Year!

This will be the third time that MINI is the marque of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. This British icon was previously honored in 2004, then 2014 and in keeping with the 10 year trend, again here in 2024.

Minis will be everywhere this summer in Pittsburgh. They will be on track both weekends and will be represented at all of our car shows throughout the July 26 – August 4 Race Week.

The local dealer is ready for this summer exclaiming “excitement is in the air as MINI and MINI of Pittsburgh takes the spotlight as Marque of the Year at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Buckle up for a year of high-octane moments, classic charm, and a celebration of the timeless allure of MINI. Join us as we revitalize the spirit of motoring, embrace the elegance of the past, and set the stage for a future filled with MINI adventures. This honor is a testament to our commitment to excellence, and we can’t wait to share this thrilling ride with the entire Pittsburgh community.”
