Many thanks @Srikumar for the drive yesterday. It was a beautiful desert morning day, perfect weather, perfect sand conditions and a great team of motivated drivers. You have picked up a great itinerary, with a superb selection of dunes, starting from small round one to higher ones. 

After the first hour of warm-up, you have raised the level including some crossings from the slip face that required  more momentum and precision in the steering, especially at the back of the convoy when the tracks were a bit churned up. The team did very well tackling the challenges with determination, and re-attempting when needed.

We a had a series of refusals, which are part of the game, a few more serious stucks requiring shoveling effort, and finally the rope in one case. It was the opportunity to learn recoveries techniques, and to see that a good team work, with some technical knowledge and practice can get the cars out of most of the situations.

@Zulfikhar Naiyar, good job as second lead, this position requires a constant concentration and quick reactions, you did very well.

@Dimitrios Kalogirou, nice drive, no issue at all

@Ravi Kumar, you will need to adjust your tire pressure more carefully, and you will see a big improvement in the grip of the car.

@Daniel Fernandez, excellent job with the Pajero, and nice support during the recoveries and careful listening to support instructions. You have seen that momentum is key, as it is more difficult to restart from some difficult position.

@Abdul Basit Khan, good control of the X-terra, nice drive !

@Ameera AlMarzooqivery good work with the LC. you have a good balance between momentum and steering precision

@JERINE_B, no issue at all, the Wrangler was steady in my mirrors. You were attentive to the instruction when required, well done

@Roger K, it was a pleasure to see the LR going up and down the dunes. Very good control of your car in this mixed terrain.

@Eduardo sos, nice to see another FJ in the convoy. you will keep enjoying and exploring the capacity of the car

@Sree - Fortuner, your car is a bit heavy, you will see that momentum is key for a fluid drive. Well done, and try to keep a more constant distance with the car in front of you for the next drives

@luwaimn, same with the Prado, momentum is key for a smooth drive. Well done

@Farook Veettil, many thanks for the sweep job. It is very important for the safety of the convoy, you did well.

Thank you all for joining, and participating to the recoveries when needed with a good spirit, it is a teams sport ! For the next drives, it is mandatory to have flag, radio, shovel. The radio must be programmed BEFORE the drive with the 10 Carnity frequencies, you will find guidance on the website. See you soon on the sand !

@JeromeFJThank you very much for great support. i have learned a lot from the Sr. members of Carnity 

Super Cheers 👍💪
