Action Plan:  Third installment of the Deep Purple Series, for experienced Fewbie Plus who are seeking to move up to Intermediate level, and above ranked drivers. With this Deep Purple's title - Burn - playing at 198 BPM, speed will continue to be the main theme of the drive. Moving from Murqaab toward Solar Park, and finally to Lisaili, the terrain this time may actually prove a bit trickier than the previous 2 drives (Speed King in Qudra and Highway Star from Ghantoot to Faqa). In fact, it will have relatively more bushy areas near the start, will include the crossing of at least 1 (probably 2) technical areas, but will also have a certain number of long-range dunes to cross. With the previous 2 drives achieving an average moving speed respectively of 37 and 38 Km/h, this time it will be hard to beat those performances. Yet, I am counting on the fast tempo of Burn to make our rubber "burn" the sand. 

Approximate finish time: 6:00 PM

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Mandatory off-road gears: Tire deflator, tire pressure gauge, compressor, walkie-talkie radio, off-road flag, shovel, first-aid kit and fire extinguisher.
