Emmanuel Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Extreme Desert Drive - (Testing Phase) Extreme Desert Drive is an extension of an Intermediate drive but at a lot faster pace with a continuous drive-time on big rolling and difficult dunes. The difficulty level of climbs, ridge riding, criss-crossing will be more or less the same as the Intermediate level, but doing that over and over again at high speed requires special attention to be courageous but with extreme caution. If you and your vehicle are perfectly in-sync with the Intermediate level without repetitive stuck, refusals, or losing track, then only you should consider joining this fast-paced extreme drive. This drive offers the maximum adrenaline among all the types of drives and also demands a very experienced and sensible driver with a fully protected 4x4 vehicle. In such extreme fast pace drive, it is highly recommended to drive alone without any passengers to avoid any distractions. Who can join: Selected - Intermediate and above With a minimum of 5 Intermediate drive experience. The final selection will be based on Crew and Marshals feedback.

Emmanuel Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 @Mukundan Nair and @Tero Vallas, based on crew and marshals feedbacks, you’re most welcome to join this one. @Kalahari happy to have you also onboard. @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Craig Finlayson, @Christian Andras and other qualified intermediate drivers, don’t miss this one. Sweihan is an amazing area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 For those coming from Dubai, take note that the entry requirements have changed from 1 Feb: 1. Al Hosn app is now compulsory ( not Text anymore) 2. You cannot enter AD with a DPI test if your previous entry was also DPI - need PCR. ( this requirement is a bit confusing, as the Gov site seems to indicate that you cannot enter AD more than once with "DPI test", which could also mean the same test - best to check before you wake up early just to be send back). And PCR only if less than 48 hrs prior. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Some of the guys from our company have entered twice after 1st Feb on DPI test only. Yes Al Hosn app is mandatory now 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 @Ilya Golubinsky if I’m not mistaken you haven’t done 5 drives at intermediate level yet. Therefore I will ask you to join one more IM drive before signing up for extreme. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi @Emmanuel, sure, after promotion to IM I've done 4 intermediate and one Fewbie as a second lead, so 5 in total but 4 in IM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what will happen at other entrances, but I am doing PCR this afternoon. Hope I am not the only driver in this convoy..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
