M.Seidam Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Dear friends Davie Chase JamesThorn Chris Wing MMansoor Charbel Joe Biju Joseph Anoop Nair Daniel Yang Arda Yagcioglu Rajiv Sam Good morning and welcome to this 4th special loop version , the DCT ( Desert Champion Trophy ) loop . Below is the link where details about the teams and the track of the winning team is depicted for more details about that event . The aim of this drive is ain’t breaking the champion time record more than to relive the experience of driving in such highly demanding terrain with total of 11 cars including my self along all the expected and unexpected stops and how to deal with it as fast as possible in a team as we always do . After more than 4 months passed to that event the desert has changed lately due to the wind blow direction pattern reshaping the dunes, ridges and the consistency of the sand below our tires . Having that said and according to the given situation I might alter the rout accordingly. Consequently the pace will vary depends on the terrain , obstacles and the drivers response. . the most important thing is to keep the focus and concentration to the highest level and abide all the time to the rules of desert driving that we all know it . stay tuned for further updates yet to come approaching the day before the drive cheers Seidam 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Seidam Posted March 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Dear Friends @Davie Chase @James Thorn @Chris Wing @MMansoor @Charbel @Joe Biju Joseph @Anoop Nair @Daniel Yang and @Rajiv Sam What a beautiful morning to start with and it was still dark west and barely the streak of the not yet sun rise could be appreciated. by the time we were done our eastern pointed car noses were just ready to let go. DCT Loop Track As I mentioned before the main aim was never breaking the record more than simulating the the best track and to live the challenges. considering we were a total of ten car convoy and the few refusals , crests/stucks and the technicality of more than half of the terrain i would say that really every one drove well , reacted well and mostly i hope enjoyed it as i did my self. just for the info the track from start till end we managed to cross 38 km with a moving time of one hour and 46 min and a stopped time of 35 min with an average speed of 16 km/h and a moving speed of 21 km/h Post DCT Drive we had almost one hour before the finish time and as planned we took a blast safely and i hope it was the best reward i could do ending our drive in the love lakes enjoying the water and the green while inflating. the stat of this last one was one hour of driving. 6 min stopped time with a moving speed of 25km/h and a pace of 2:38 min/km @Chris Wing it was pleasure meeting first time and you were excellent in the position of the second lead @Rajiv Sam and @James Thorn congrats again for the promotion and considering its your first IM drive guys you rocked today well done. @H3 Joe was not bad at all especially after awhile, you drove good. nice to meet you too. @Charbel you were about to miss the action but eventually you made it , pleasure seeing today my friend. @Daniel Yang and @MMansoor i believe guys you were enjoying in the back churning up the sand, kidding offcourse, you were excellent. @Davie Chase and @Anoop Nair in the center and sweep respectively thank you guys for all the help when ever was needed . its always pleasure driving with you guys . well done. Thank you again for coming and seeya again soon in the sand Cheers Mohamed 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
