Brescia. After almost 2000 kilometers travelled, we have now reached the final page of the 42nd re-enactment of the Freccia Rossa. The first city to host the final stage of the event was Ferrara, a great classic of the 1000 Miglia: a Stamp Control was held in Piazza Trento e Trieste, after which the cars reached Piazza Ariostea and the Estense Castle for the first three time trials of the morning.
After crossing the Po river, between Occhiobello and Stienta, another block of tests immediately followed, the last of the 2024 edition. Afterwards, straight to Bovolone for a stamp and the Time Control which inaugurated the last sector of the race .
The approach to the finish line in Brescia involves another 5 stamp checks. The first in Villafranca di Verona, in the internal courtyard of the Scaligero Castle, specially set up for the occasion. About thirty kilometers in the North-West direction and it will be the turn of Sirmione, then Desenzano del Garda and Valtenesi, passing through Padenghe, Moniga, Manerba (whose port will be the seat of the CT) and San Felice. Before arriving in Salò, last location touched by this year’s extra large edition, an exceptional guest will also join the convoy: the Italian pop star Blanco, winner of the 2022 Sanremo Festival, will experience the last stretch of the race aboard a Giannini Sport 750 Siluro and will remain in the company of the competitors for the rest of the day.
The Time Control that will mark the conclusion of the 2200 kilometer ride will wait the crews in Via Bormioli in Brescia, after which the cars will parade as always, passing through the platform in Viale Venezia. In the following hours, the Freccia Rossa will lend its Traveling Museum to the streets and squares of the city center for a few hours: the cars will park in Corso Zanardelli, Via Tebaldo Brusato. The awards ceremony will be held at 6.30 pm on the Notte Bianca stage in Piazza della Loggia.
