You really should reconsider your plan not to attend. It's a fantastic occasion. I've been taking cars there for six or seven years now. I wouldn't miss it. Indeed, even though I've sold my car and I was only able to go along on the Friday this year because of holidays, I'm still attending and really looking forward to it.
You're going to see more Maseratis than you could dream of.
As for the parade lap. Not to put too much of a dampener on things. But, I've been on a couple of these parade laps in the recent past. Unless you're at the very front, what happens is that you queue up for ages waiting to get onto the track and then crawl around in second. I think I managed third only once, one year. Before being filtered off. Sometimes, before the full lap is complete.
It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if my car wasn't infield.
