'Bring back the roar': Plea for return of supercar parades to Horsham

The town’s flagship car event – the three-day Piazza Italia – was held every Easter since 2006 until Horsham District Council pulled the plug on it three years ago.

Parades of hundreds of Ferraris and Ducati-led Italian bikes attracted huge crowds every Good Friday followed by Italian Job-style Mini parades the following day with Supercars, Fiats and Scooters on Easter Monday.

Other Horsham car events included AmeriCARna – with American vehicles on display – and Plum Jam, a classic Volkswagen show.

Now there are calls for the events to be staged again. A peititon to ‘Bring back the Roar’ has been launched on Change.org
