COVID 19 Compliant - Morning - Extreme Desert Drive - Shuwaib - 05 Feb 2021

[Emmanuel]

Good evening @Kalahari, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Craig Finlayson, @Christian Andras

Happy to see you tomorrow morning at 7 (or let’s say a few minutes before) for our drive in Shuwaib. Please don’t underestimate the distance to our meeting point, which is quite far from Dubai. Last gas station is ADNOC just before Madam roundabout. 
Convoy will be announced tomorrow. 
We will use Carnity Radio channel n°3.

See you bright and early @Emmanuel!

Best of luck guys enjoy it to max and be safe 👍🙏🏻💪

Today’s drive was one of the best drives I have had with Carnity so far. 
After 2 drives in Abu Dhabi which were so cool in their own right, I was surprised to see today’s relatively big dunes in Dubai (I have never been to this specific area before).

I was so thrilled by the prolonged and very intense periods of driving in mixed terrain at sustained high speed. The feeling of absolute concentration needed is very addictive. From the discussion after the drive I understand everyone felt the same, all concentrating on their own performance and the car ahead. It was helpful that we were few cars (5) in the convoy, but still cool to move together so fast. We didn’t have any significant stucks or refusals.

Another sign of the good tempo we had, was that we finished way earlier than planned (which I have never experienced before). 
 

Thanks @Emmanuel and the rest of the team for this great drive!

Please, please, pretty please, more drives like this🙏🙏😀😀.

 

P.S. During today’s drive I realized I will “need” to maybe modify the suspension on my FJ, felt like a bit harder shocks would have been better😬. Sorry @Gaurav, but not everybody can afford a car with adjustable suspension😂😜

[Emmanuel]

Proud of you @Emmanuel our original Velociraptor. Was it 20 or 120 KPH? @Craig Finlayson the video was amazing as was your choice of music, got my heart pumping.
