Here is the convoy order for tomorrow's drive; 

Pos	Driver	Car	Level
L	Mehmet & Nivin	Pajero & XT	ADV
SL	Sertac	XT	EXP
3	Paolo Maraziti	FJ	FWB
4	Adhir Saxena	Pajero	FWB

@Nivin will take partial leading of the drive as per his LL program. We are planning to visit some playable zones (number depends on the convoy speed) and mid-level technical parts in between them.

We will be on radio channel #4

There will be another Carnity convoy for a morning newbie drive close to our meeting point. Do not confuse with it, just pass through them and continue for approx 1 km to our meet point. We will directly enter the desert from there after deflating. 

See you in the morning!
