COVID19 Compliant - Afternoon Intermediate Desert Drive - Climbing the mighty Lisaili Dunes - Dubai - 17 Apr 2021


Recommended Posts

Drive Brief
The stretch of desert around Lisaili offers infinite possibilities for desert off-roaders, ranging from small, super-technical dunes to long range, almost endless ridges. This drive will offer a taste of all these terrains, alternating more challenging technical stints to faster and more "driven" ones. There is however a specific place, where dunes become so high and so big that they well deserve to be named the "Mighty Lisaili Dunes". A majestic conformation which will be the perfect playground for breath-taking climbs and arduous passages, combined with neverending slideslopes overlooking the sunset.

@Yousef Alimadadi, @AlexPol, @Jon M, @Goutam, @Ahab Shamaa, @Tariq Carrimjee, @varunmehndiratta, @Mario Cornejo, @Shehab Alawadhi, @Jack Thomas, @Tero Vallas, this drive is going to be technically demanding, both mentally for the drivers and mechanically for the cars, given the high temperatures. It will require your full and undivided concentration at every step, so make sure you come well rested and hydrated and you don’t have any reason for being distracted. Also, please consider carefully if you wish to bring passengers along with you.

We will be using Carnity Channel 1 (446.00625MHz). 

See you on Saturday afternoon, ready to go (i.e. already deflated and flagged) by no later 3:00pm (sharp).

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher have a high possibility won't be able to make it this weekend. Can I confirm by Friday afternoon? If that's late, let me know and I will drop out. Thanks 

 

 

Dear @varunmehndiratta, if you think you are not going to make it, I suggest you drop out and let @Gaurav Soni, the first waitlisted, join the drive.
