Gaurav Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 23 hours ago, Lorenzo Candelpergher said: Some RFIs to the @Carnity Organizers: 1. Can you confirm that ALL Team members are required to record the track or just the lead? If all, we need to make sure all drivers are conversant with GPS tools, including the Fewbie Member. Yes please, all team members need to record the complete GPS track. 23 hours ago, Lorenzo Candelpergher said: 2. Can you qualify what is meant by "tampering with GPS"? What happens if one of the team members fails to record the track, accidentally stops recording or drains the phone battery or has a phone overheating issue? Are all individual team member tracks going to be handed to the Organizers at the end of the drive? Tampering means, transferring tracks from one device to other, OR editing, merging, splitting the actual event track is completely prohibited. As GPS tracking is the only means to verify so we request all teams for their full compliance, please. This event is not a carnity regular drive and an event to identify "CHAMPIONS" so we expect a champion-like performance without any negligence, excuses, or accidents. Mobile battery drain is usually for lead, so others can start recording and switch the screen off and keep verifying after every few minutes. Yes, all individual GPS tracks of the winning team will be properly verified without any compromise or leniency. 23 hours ago, Lorenzo Candelpergher said: 3. Can you confirm that ALL Team members required to drive a circle around the waypoints or just the lead? This is to plan drive execution accordingly. Yes please, we need to see the circle on the GPS track to verify that each individual has been to the same waypoint. The variance of 5-10 meters is acceptable factoring the GPS, devices anomalies, but not 50 meters. 23 hours ago, Lorenzo Candelpergher said: 4. There is a starting point from where 5 waypoints are to be reached in whatever order, if I got it right. I'm not clear about the conclusion of the drive: are we done when we reach the last of the 5 waypoints (regardless which one it is as per our route and regardless of the exit point) or do we have to head back to the starting point or any other designated exit point? Yes, you can cover all 5 waypoints however you wish to target. After completing all 5 waypoints every team needs to return to the starting point. Basically, Start and Finish points are the same. 4 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 17 hours ago, Ruan van den Heever said: What are the rules in the event of a complete mechanical failure of one team member's car? Is the team disqualified? Can that member continue with another team member? As mentioned in the beginning. Due to any mechanical failure, breakdown or accident, the trip lead needs to inform any of the crew immediately. We will mobilize the support team asap with the shortest, fastest track we have marked on this entire area. Once the support team arrives and verifies the genuineness of the breakdown, then the rest of the team can start to continue the remaining track. I expect the support team should reach within 15-30 minutes (most likely) but we still mentioned 15 mins - 2 hours, so that this cannot be used as a loop-hole to get rid of the weakest link. 4 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Convoy ordering: Once you arrive at the starting point, line up cars as per your team numbers. Car recording: All car photos and videos will be taken from all sides to verify any damage. Waypoints distribution: Each team will have 30 minutes from receiving the waypoints to start their drive. All waypoints will be given in printed sheets and through WhatsApp to the trip lead only. Radio: Channel 1 will be used for all event coordination. Each team can choose use their channel number and announce. Time Record: Once the team crosses through the two tall flags their time starts and when the whole team returns through the same tall flags, their timing stops. Whichever team completes in the shortest amount of time, will win. Waypoints approach: There will be 5 waypoints that each team and team member needs to visit and make a circle to mark on the GPS track. Any break in the track of any member log will disqualify the whole team. 5-10 meter variance is acceptable for factoring in the GPS and devices anomalies. After completing those 5 waypoints, each team needs to return to the starting point and pass through the same tall flags to stop their timer. Time lag: Each team will leave after 5 minutes of the gap to avoid crowding on the first waypoints. Location sharing: Each team lead needs to share the WhatsApp live location for 8 hours, so we can monitor the progress for safety and verification purposes. The team lead can appoint another team member to share the live location for saving the battery or device usage. Support team and Backup leads: Two sets of backup leads (4 cars) will be positioned on two different waypoints. Reporting breakdown: Any car breakdown, mechanical failure or accident need to be reported to any crew immediately, so that we can mobilize the nearest support. Gaurav - 050 5258706 Srikumar - 055 9567471 Frederic - 056 5042632 Refreshments: Breakfast and beverages will be served after each team returns. P.S. Bring your camping chairs, umbrellas, canopy (if you have) as you might have to wait until all team finishes. 11 3 5 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Definitely understand. Only one question to clarify . Will additional phone or device recording in the same time ( and kept in cool box for example ) is not considering any one of the above mentioned? This is realy important Gaurav as there is no place for me to tolerate on my self to disqualify my team just because battery went off or phone overheating issue .

Thanks 🙏 I feel like you @M.SeidamI suppose we can record our track on two separate devices in the same car… one out for navigation and other as backup recording kept in cool box!!

But we trust our leads completely for this little loop-hole compliance. 12 minutes ago, Jeepie said: If we are allowed to pick a radio channel now, we would like to claim channel 10 Noted: Team Arabian Wolf - Ale - Radio Channel 2.
