Popular Post Frederic Posted September 24, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 RSVP IS NOW CLOSED For the guys and gals who have been intermediate for a while, you probably have done this terrain and know what to expect. The pyramids and long range dunes offer plenty of challenges, and fast pace driving will only be one of them. For the new intermediates who recently got promoted, get ready to push every little bit of power from the vehicle, make sure you are properly deflated, and better avoid taking sensitive passengers. The plan of course is to have lots of fun, but also to test and shift the limits of yourself and your vehicle a bit further. @Shiju Manuel will be my second lead, while @Desert Dweller will keep an eye out for assisting with refusals and recoveries, and @Brette will be our help at the back and keep the convoy moving at the appropriate distances. If all goes well we will try to make it to Iftar Bowl, but let's see how things go and keep things safe and sane. See you guys tomorrow ! 10 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzo Candelpergher Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hi @Frederic, I'm familiar with the challenges in Area 53 (I've done 5 drives there, outside Carnity) so I know I'll need to be 120% focusing on the driving. Having said this, how about I'll take one of my drones with me in case we find the time to squeeze in a few mins for a couple of shots for the drone challenge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
