Action Plan: After a first, successful, Rush Hour from Solar Park to Faqa, the "need for speed" format comes back with its sequel, back to Dubai. As the first edition, the drive plan is designed to cover at least 60 Km in 2 hours. Departure is scheduled exactly at 4:00 PM (meeting time will be from 3:30 PM onward, so that we'll be all ready to start precisely at 4PM). The drive will end, wherever we'll be (with exit points planned nearby our route), at exactly 6:00 PM, or upon covering 60Km, whichever comes first. The goal is to drive at a minimum average moving speed of 30Km/h.  

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 6:00 PM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.

Dear Desertnauts

as this will be a Rush Hour drive, sorry for being late in updating you with further information about tomorrow's meeting point and itinerary.

Since the previous drive ended at Faqa, coming from Solar Park, we'll revert the route, and start from Faqa on our way back to Dubai. We'll move most of the drive against the slip-faces, which may actually not be much of a disadvantage, as the hard faces in this whole area have lately shown a tall and large "step" of very soft sand, that has inhibited most of the criss-crossing attempts.

I'll soon post the meeting point on the site. Please make sure that you reach around 3:30PM, so that we can start promptly at 4:00PM, for the 2 hour drive. The convoy order will be announced tomorrow afternoon, prior to the start of the drive.

@Ranjan Das, @Waqas Parvez, @MMansoor, @Ahmad Shaker, @Charbel, @Gregory, @ASAD., @Tom B, @Fabien Monleau and @Pacific, I am looking forward to take you back to Dubai in time for the beginning of the weekend.

See you all tomorrow.
