Good evening,

It was a pleasure to meet and drive with you guys last night. The dunes were tall and humongous.

Before sunset we were able to practice some long sides and criss-crossings. Seeing how each and every one was driving, I became confident to take the team to the famous Nagrah hill. Unfortunately we had to exit @Taufique Surve very early due to over heating issue. 

Throughout the drive we were able to drive with good pace. Towards nagrah side, we were continuously driving at high elevation. We had minimum refusals and didn't need any rope recovery. Well done guys.👍👌

@Mus_hus78 you did a fantastic job as SL. Very quick response when ever needed.

@Gok Krish thank you for accompanying me to Sweihan and providing assistance and rerouting to the team. You handled CF role very well.

@Zed @Hasan Wahlan @Farouq Owdeh you guys drove effortlessly like experts. Kudos to you👍

@Karthikeyan Govindarajan handled his heavy LC very well. I felt you were shy on gas at some places. 

@Xavier Treasurer was the lone wolf at the end sweeping everyone. Great sweep and I don't think you had any refusals👍

Stats from the drive

Looking forward for more drives with you all. Kindly share the pictures taken on our gallery.

Cheers!
