We expect each team to finish within 3-4 hours, but due to any unforeseen situation your team might extend to 6-8 hours, so keep good amount of buffer for such events, as it's not a regular off-road drive. 1 1 2 1 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Popular Post Gaurav Posted November 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Dear Desert Champions, Here is the update on what to expect on the 19 Nov 2021 to identify the real champions (team). Based on my off-roading experience since 2006 in participating and designing such events, I like to share my two cents before revealing the plan to set the tone. For the sake of winning, of course, only one team will win, but for me personally, all participants will be true champions: If you can complete the whole course "safely" without any damage or accidents. If you can control your temptations, frustration, anger and rise above the game. If you can think it through in most difficult situations and still keep moving. If you can continue to keep a "razor-sharp" focus all the time consistently. If you can strike a balance as a good team player with sporting spirit. Revealing the Game Plan. All teams will be given 5-way points to cover however they like to target and approach. Roughly as per the below plan (almost finalized). Red is the starting point. You can start from left, right or center, however, you wish if it's more approachable, doable, less treacherous, less monstrous, less technical etc. No matter how well you plan in the beginning, you and your lead will always have to re-align the focus as per moving target to go with dunes construction, topography and sizes. So you will have lots and lots of fun at every waypoint to talk, discuss, and gather your thoughts as a good team does (sometimes). No masking tapes are allowed. These all points have been strategically positioned to cause "immense" confusion and temptations with endless permutations and combinations to test each team's strength and mental readiness of true champions. You are free to run any military-grade, tactical, navigational devices, apps and gadgets to find the shortest, sweetest path. Please remember it's just a fun and entertaining event to celebrate a true desert champion in you or in somebody else, so please keep it happy, keep it safe and keep it healthy. 8 1 2 9 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
