Thank you @Gaurav and all for your continuous support and encouragement during the past 6 months. It was a great learning curve, initiated by @Emmanuel and @Ale Vallecchi. I’ve really appreciated the patient guidance from marshals, leads and support team that allowed me to build confidence and discover this exciting activity. And it is only the beginning !!

Special thanks to @Islam Soliman, having lead almost 1/3 of my drives, always searching for new challenges, never hesitating to take a full convoy in tricky technical areas, @Kailasfor the initiation to the night drives, and the always intense and fluid routes, @Lorenzo Candelpergherfor the high climbs and breathtaking bowls, and to my FJ fellows @Chris Wing, @Hisham Masaad, @Niki, @PaoloMaraziti

And to all the others, it is always a pleasure to meet and share experiences with the regulars and new faces. See you soon on the sand !
