Dear Sand Sailors

Thanks all for RSVPing for the drive. Slots went in quite fast so i am sure you are all looking forward for adrenaline pumping experience that Faqa has to offer. 

Plan for this drive is simple - we have an entry point and from thereon we will try to climb every high dune that comes our way and ride every nice ridge that we will see. I have no fixed exit.point in mind, we will exit close to where we will be around 9am. And that's the beauty of Faqa we can exit at all four sides of the area.

Key is to make the engines roar and try to expand our experience with our ships - and we have some really powerful ones in the convoy this time 

Just to share Desert Champion and someone who truly needs no introduction at Carnity, Richard @Wrangeld will be joining us for the drive. So let's get our ships ready to explore Faqa. 

@Paolo Morresi @Paolo Pellegrini @Sergio Big Dawg @Federico Galbieri @FiNaR @FiNaR @Beide Worku @topgear @Mahmoud Taha @Ashok chaturvedi you all are added to the drive. In case of any change of plans,   please share it well in time as we have 4 sailors in WL for their first drives of the week. 

Wait listed  @Sam K

@Yogesh Chaudhary

@Pieter Potgieter

@Daniel Rodas

Looking forward to see you all on Sunday.

Great to have dear Richard back, I once recall he was behind me on a drive ( as a convoy driver) and I  was superlative nervous to have a Marshal behind me.  Near-half way of the drive he had to exit as his car was having some engine problem and I then could totally relax.

@varunmehndiratta looking forward to supporting your drive. Faqa has some great challenges from high dunes and ridges to sweeping dunes with exciting bowls. 

@Ashok chaturvedi I will do my best to ensure that you are relaxed, but this time without breaking my car. I am pleased that such an experienced driver is joining the drive - so those with less experience can follow your line.

If I recall that was a drive with @Lorenzo Candelpergher where I managed to snap the stabilizer arm on the Jeep so I was at a severe disadvantage during the drive!

Let's hope for a less eventful drive this week - I cannot afford to both repair the car and pay for the petrol to run it!

Apart from the ludicrous start time, looking forward to the drive!

If this price increase continues like this..I am switching to Desert Bike, 35 inches on a Trek bike. 😂😂
