Offroad Drive Levels

[Gaurav]

Newbie Drive

This is an easy-level off-road drive designed to help beginners get comfortable with the basic techniques of driving on sand dunes. Drivers will learn how to safely go up and down dunes, perform small side slopes (“sideys”) and rainbow arcs while driving in a convoy.

The drive focuses on mastering throttle control and smooth acceleration while negotiating the dunes. Participants will also receive an introduction to ridge riding, side sloping, and crisscrossing broad dunes — all in a safe, controlled, and beginner-friendly environment.

Who can join:
Any Newbie or first-time member with a 4x4 vehicle having 8–10 inches of ground clearance and front & back tow hooks.

---

Fewbie Drive

This is a moderate-level drive where drivers will further develop and practice ridge riding, side sloping, and crisscrossing techniques on more challenging terrain. Participants will learn how to handle different dune situations while understanding vehicle limitations and working with gravity rather than against it.

This level teaches drivers to become more calculated, disciplined, and technically aware, going beyond simply being a capable off-roader. The pace, terrain, and challenges are several steps above Newbie-level drives.

Who can join:
Any Fewbie and above level off-roader.

---

Fewbie Plus Drive

Fewbie Plus is an extension of the Fewbie level, designed for more experienced Fewbie off-roaders who want to tackle greater challenges at a faster pace and with increased technical difficulty.

This level serves as a bridge between Fewbie and Intermediate drives, helping off-roaders transition smoothly while building confidence, control, and technical driving skills.

Who can join:
Any Fewbie Plus and above level off-roader.

---

Intermediate Drive

This level combines and refines all previously learned skills on more technical terrain and smaller, sharper dunes that demand precision, vehicle control, and advanced driving techniques.

Drivers will also be introduced to larger dunes and learn how to safely navigate and connect dune lines while maintaining momentum. Intermediate drives require a high level of discipline, patience, awareness, and consistency, all while driving at a significantly faster pace than Fewbie-level drives.

Who can join:
Any Intermediate and above level off-roader.

Hi, just have a question. 

I've already did a Newbie Drive. Can I repeat this drive of it is mandatory to go for a Fewbie Drive? 

Thanks

Hi @Luiz Nóbrega

Have a look at below post:

You will need to complete at least  5 Newbie Level drives before requesting your promotion to Fewbie level. 

See you soon in the sand !

I am absolutely new to driving off road - been thinking for last two years - and now finally decided to jump in. Tried to book for the 21st - but looks like there are no slots yet for me. But I am absolutely certain to do this
