You will see Ale - don't worry (on the right hand side of the road (and through the drive I am sure). 

And ... who would not want you in their team?

Hi @Ale Vallecchi having a few issues with my truck today. So I am going to have to get that checked out, so please give my space to someone else.

 

Have a awesome drive everyone

Dear Desertnauts.

The mystery is about to be solved. We have chosen a meeting point, which will soon be published on the drive's post. PLEASE CHECK THE PAGE AFTER 7PM TOMORROW EVENING.

Once you reach it, please position yourself on separate sides of the road, according to which convoy you belong to. 

@Ale Vallecchi's convoy will be on the right hand side of the road, and will be composed of:

@Ahab Shamaa, @Goutam, @Islam Soliman, @Jack Thomas, @Kenneth Bollhardt, @kolinrrj, @Malachy McGrogan, @Nihal17, @Rizwan Waheed, @VipinShetty and @Yahya Munir. The radio channel selected for this convoy is Carnity Channel #2 (446.031).

@Wrangeld (Richard)'s convoy will line up on the left side of the road, and will include:

@Francois Germishuys, @Humayun Ghias, @Mobeen Anwar, @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ, @Niki Patel, @Rob Harper, @sheri, @Sreejith Sreenivasan, @stavros papachristos, @Thomas Varghese @Watteau and @Yousef Alimadadi. The radio channel selected for this convoy is Carnity Channel #1 (446.006).

These lists are in alphabetical order, so the exact convoys' orders will be unveiled tomorrow. They have been composed so to keep into account a balanced mix of drivers, in terms or ranks, experience and type of cars.

As far as the itinerary is concerned, we will be entering an area of large, long dunes (tall but not too sharp), spend some time playing in their shadows, then cross a sabkha and approach another area of long range cordons (although possibly accessed through a small set of more technical dunes). Initially our general direction will be west, with the sun at our backs, but eventually we plan to turn around, toward a yet undecided exit point, in an easterly position with respect to Downtown Dubai. All skills will be practiced: side sloping, some ridge riding and criss-crossing, as well as driving along canyons, and in and out of sand bowls as well.

Meeting time is confirmed at 6:00 AM on Saturday Morning, sharp.

Enjoy your end of the week, and have a good Friday.
