Alain Canivet-Abikhalil Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thank you @Ale Vallecchi as expected, you took us on a very nice and new trip through the dunes of Murqab to reach Faqa. At some moments, on the Sabkhas, the convoy looked like a MadMax scenery... ^^ Particularly enjoyed the long ridge-ridings and also the technical dunes - that are part of the deal - and it's rewarding to cross those tricky sections effectively. Thank you @Lakshmi Narasimhan for SL, @Gaurav Soni for tightening the convoy and @Mario Cornejo for the support. It was a very enjoyable drive and the sunset at the end was amazing ! See you all very soon. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for showing us this part of the desert. It was a great challenge and steep learning curve. Pleasure and honor to have driven and met with the rest of the convoy members. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the test yet relatively fast paced start, the technical areas, ridge riding and some tricky passage. I think as convoy we also did very well with only few occasional stops. Some of the dunes were picture perfect and the magic of desert at sunset is unforgettable. THANK YOU @Ale Vallecchi @Gaurav Soni @Mario Cornejo and @Lakshmi Narasimhan for the leadership , support and big smile on my face. Looking forward to the next one. A little memory of this fantastic afternoon (looking good @Chinthaka Ruwan) Here the stats of the stats recorded and the itinerary Thanks @PaoloMaraziti 😍🤩 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinthaka Ruwan Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for the excellent drive. Second part of the drive was challenging also exciting.

Have a great week. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Cornejo Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 @Ale Vallecchi as usual a pleasure to join one of your long range drives. We covered slightly above 70 Kms and the drive was fluid. Also thanks to 2nd lead @Lakshmi Narasimhan and CF @GauravSoni for their support. The first part of the drive offered a great technical area to practice, the second part was equally demanding in sorting a combination of technical areas and some tall crests and ridges. Everyone drove well, just a few refusals and fishtails (possibly due to what seemed a bit more power than needed) and no major issues, so well done to everyone it was a pleasure driving with you all. Until we meet again on the sand, I wish you all a great week ahead. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
