While looking at the waiting list I have had an idea that I would like to present to all drivers, the conformed signed up ones, and the waitlisted. If all, or most, agree, I will proceed as below: I will extend the drive to 10 cars, hence confirming the following CONVOY 1: @Zixuan Huang - Charlie, @Vaibhav, @Daniel Rodas, @varunmehndiratta, @Prakash Anoop, @topgear, @Rob S, @Alexanderrr PLUS @KAMALIO and @Chinthaka Ruwan I will open up the drive to the next 10 waitlisted drivers, hence creating a new CONVOY 2: @Naim Aoun, @Ashok chaturvedi, @munkybizness, @Simon Dawood, @Shaker, @ASAD., @Waqas Parvez, @Pacific, @Anoop Nair and @Ranjan Das Convoy 1 will: meet up at Qudra's Last Exit at 2:00 PM, and will "rush" to reach Ghantoot's exit point start the drive exactly at 2:30 PM plan to end the drive at 4:30 PM sharp in case the full distance between Qudra and Ghantoot has not been covered, there is a track on a sabkha available for a quick exit to Ghantoot Convoy 2 will: meet up at Ghantoot starting point at 4:30 PM, corresponding the Convoy 1's exit, and will "rush back" to Qudra's Last Exit start the drive exactly at 5:00 PM plan to end the drive at 7:00 PM also, if the drive will not have reached Qudra's Last Exit, we'll take the closest exit on Bab al Shams Road This will allow 2 convoys to drive within the "Rush Hour" format, on the Qudra to Ghantoot route and vice versa, with only me commuting back and forth. It will be a relay of sorts, with the goal of accommodating all drivers into this exciting format. I would like to ask each of you, both confirmed and waitlisted drivers, to please acknowledge the above idea, and confirm your presence in the allocated convoy. I will proceed to open up the drive to all those who agree with the above format, hence confirming the convoys above (or part of them, if not all agree). Thanks a lot for your prompt consideration and reply. Have a great Sunday. @Ale Vallecchi Thanks and appreciate very much.. I am so sorry that you have to run back to back convoy for us. I am most certainly in. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale Vallecchi Posted May 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Dear Desertnauts as the time to confirm the revised format has expired, based on the confirmations received, I have decided the following updates to the drive's format: there will be only 1 convoy, for a total of 13 cars meeting time will be 2:30PM, to depart no later (100%) by 3:00PM the meeting point will be Qudra's Last Exit, at the waiting area just past the ADNOC's gas station exit the drive plan will have a first segment of 2 hours or 60 Km driven (whichever comes first), in the direction of Ghantoot, after which the second segment, of another 2 hours or another 60 Km driven, will be taking the convoy back to Qudra from Ghantoot (for this part I have planned a slightly different track than previous ones). exit is planned at 7PM (with 15 minutes to spare before it gets dark). The convoy order will be the following: @Zixuan Huang - Charlie in Second Lead @Alexanderrr at #3 @Vaibhav #4 @Prakash Anoop at #5 @Anoop Nair #6 @Rob S #7 @Ranjan Das at #8 @Daniel Rodas at #9 @Ashok chaturvedi #10 @topgear at #11 @munkybizness #12, and @varunmehndiratta in Sweep Please deflate considering the heat of the first couple of hours of the afternoon. We'll communicate through Carnity Channel #3 (446.056). Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon. Have a nice evening. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
