Great drive last Saturday @Kailas!

As usual, straight to the point, with maximum fun and enjoyment ! We went from one area to the other at continuous pace. The small technical patch was a nice warm-up, requiring full concentration straight from the start, and the portion behind the pylon tracks was offering endless possibilities ! We had a few opportunities to use rope and shovels, including a recovery with a steep angle which was carefully handled using 2 cars as anchor points front and rear to enable to driver for a safe self recovery.

Great team there also, @Ahmad Shaker and @Trekado, nice seeing you after Liwa, @Aisha S, @Rob S, @Tom B, it was a pleasure to meet you for the first time, @Gok Krish, @Fabien Monleau, @marks, always nice to drive with you guys.
