So that we can join Hi @Manjinder Singh ... it's a big question every week about how we can accommodate the wishes of so many committed drivers. At one level, yes, the easy solution is to say we open up the drives to as many people as sign up. The challenge we then have is two fold. (probably more, but let's start with these two). The first is safety. With a 15 car convoy, the front and back of the convoy are a long way from each other and the experience of the front of the convoy can be very, very different to the back. At the front, you drive on nice freshly created takcs for you by the drive lead and drive at a very leasurely pace. At the back, you are looking for a clean track that has not been churned up by the cars in front and having to drive much faster to keep up (concertina effect) so it's a bit of a race to keep up and deal with the sand. The second is simply the potential enjoyment of the convoy has a correlation with the amount of stucks and refusals. If you add 5 more cars, you increase exponentially the chances of delays due to problems. As drive leads, we love managing recoveries because we learn a lot from it as does the driver being recovered. If, however, you are 500 meters away in a different part of the convoy sitting patiently waiting, eventually, when that happens 5, 6 or ten times, it becomes a little less fun. I am all for getting as many people out into the sand as possible. It is one of the ultimate most liberating hobbies I know, so I understand 100% that you want to be out there. The challenge on this drive in particular is that for the first time, we are exploring with Newbies. That means that there may be more stucks and refusals than ususal. If everyone on the drive is OK with the risk that it lasts till 12.00 or beyond, then maybe we can extend the numbers - but I hope you see the dilemma. It's not that we do not want to add more drivers, it's that we have to tink about how do we manage all those drivers. If the drive is without incident, that's great. If there's a problem. Less so. I am open to any ideas or suggestions you might have. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
