Chicago, 10th November 2006

There's a long road ahead for the team of the Panamerican 20,000. They must drive many kilometres to arrive in Chicago; fortunately they can use the highway.

After bidding farewell to the ALCOA employees, the tour sets of for Detroit. First, the highway runs on twisty roads around the Pittsburgh hills, the city of steel. Finally, the road becomes flat and straight again and the roads become like the days before, characterized by leafless woods, farms, fields, houses, silos and chimneys. There are lots of prefabricated houses and trailer parks where many Americans have to live.

On the way out of Pennsylvania the tour reaches Ohio in the direction of Indiana.
Many police patrols control ensure the speed limit is not violated.
The team spots Lake Michigan in the distance long before they arrive in Chicago, Illinois, beset by heavy rain.

Once in Chicago, the two Berlinettes experience the first traffic jam on the American continent.
Tomorrow they will leave for Detroit. Mo'town gets ready to welcome the two 599 GTB Fiorano.
