PVGP to Host Triumph—MG Challenge during 2025 Historics at Pitt Race

November 20, 2024 – The friendly rivalry between the Triumph and MG faithful will be tested, with racers from Coventry and Abingdon battling it out for bragging rights at a track ideal for these British racing legends. These two marques have supported our Historic Races since they started in 2004.

All cars will practice and race in their regularly assigned PVGP Race Groups by engine size for the three-day event. On Saturday and Sunday, a Triumph and MG-only race will be featured. Marty Sukey and Eric Russell are working on a point system to determine which team will take the trophy on Saturday, along with bragging rights. Sunday’s race will award individuals based on their times.

We expect 50+ participants and anticipate some significant cars joining us. We also encourage all racers to attend the Schenley Park races the following weekend.- July 19/20, where both groups have been racing with us since we started back in 1983.

Triumphs and MGs are eligible to participate in both races at no extra charge, but the car and driver must be signed up for the Historics Race Weekend to be eligible.

The PVGP wishes to thank Marty Sukey, Eric Russell and Jim Dolan for pulling this together. We are excited to host the first edition of this race at Pittsburgh International Race Complex and hope this leads to a long-term event.

If you have not been to Pitt Race, you will enjoy the track and its amenities.
