New York, 16th November 2006

The Ferrari Panamerican 20,000 Tour has reached its final stage. As the cars leave for their last section it starts to rain and it won't stop until the Berlinettes arrive in New York. To pass the border from Canada into the US the team has to wait for four hours but then they can drive on and pass the huge bridges on both sides of the Niagara River to reach the highway, which leads them to New York. Fog and rain do not consent to admire the landscape but from time to time the team members can spot the hills surrounding the lakes.

Now the Tour arrives in the State of New York, the 23rd the Panamerican 20,000 is crossing. But the cars immediately re-enter Pennsylvania - the first State of the US, which declared its independence. Finally they arrive in New Jersey, the 24th State. Through Lincoln Tunnel the Tour returns to New York and reaches the island of Manhattan. It's already evening when the engines are turned off in front of the hotel next to Central Park and the team members are slightly sad that this splendid experience, this unrepeatable adventure is terminated.

All eyes are peeled on the two 599 GTB Fiorano, which drove for 20,000 miles without the slightest problem, arriving in New York in perfect conditions. Tomorrow a final ceremony will be held, with a press conference, a cocktail party and a big celebration in honour of the end of this grand undertaking.
