Update: Saturday May 16 – 11:35 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we close this Live Blog, we would like to leave you with these photos from Parma city where we were received by huge crowds of people cheering us along the streets. We shared several videos on Instagram including one of Josh Cartu amusing the crowd with his Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta. There is more to see than what we can write here, but you haven’t missed a thing! <\/p>\n

We have to be up by 3:30 am tomorrow and leave by 5:30 am. Other than the designated route from Parma to Brescia, we shall stop at the Monza circuit for some track action- yes, that should be really fun! <\/p>\r\n
