Hi Kailas, Are off-road light needed for this drive?

[Kailas]

Hi @Gurcharan Mehta,

Off-road lights are not mandatory for this drive. As you will be following the car in front, high beam should be good enough. 

For more details refer below thread on offroad light recommendations

@DP1011 , Deepak wrangler This time tried to do from office but still wasn't able to make it. Got RSVP limit reached in first 20 seconds of 7:00 pm ..............don't know upgrade wifi bandwidth or job 🙄 

This time atleast I am first on the waiting list with hope of someone dropping (for sure).

Yes, please get your chairs. Driving at night can be exhausting. Seeing the convoy strength, the drive level can be stepped up. So in order to not tire you out, we will take two 15 minutes breaks in between.

See you all at 6pm.

Cheers

[Kailas]

Thank you all for the full attendance. I was extremely satisfied with the pace we were able to keep. I could keep on increase the pace and the convoy had no trouble catching up.

Thanks to the all-stars support team @Joji varghese @Looper @Anish S @Charbel @Rajiv Sam @GauravSonifor guiding the FB's.

And well done to @Andrei S @Rajat Verma @Waqar Sarwar @Jessica Lambert @Andrew McCarthy @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @AlexM for handling the fast paced drive so well. 

Couple of refusals sorted out quickly and a pop-out fixed in 10 minutes

We had completed the main planned drive 30 minutes before finish time which gave idea to extend the drive to those who wanted to stay back.

The next part was led by @GauravSoni. Well done & congrats on your first night drive lead.

We drove for another 1.5 hrs and ended the drive at Qudra area. 

Thumbs up to all!! see you all soon.
