Varun Mehndiratta Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Dear Sand Sailors Super soft sand, surprisingly bearable weather, herds of gazelles cheering us up through the route - we had it all to make it a fun drive and thanks to the awesome pack of drivers, that's how it turned out to be. Drive went in so smooth that if not for Gaia, i wouldn't have believed that we covered around 72Km at an average moving speed of 24kmph through this mix of long range, tech and bushy terrain. Well done all 👍 @RiaanJH - perfect SL, maintained a very good distance and responded to calls promptly.. Thanks for your support . @george charbel very nicely driven. This wasnt an easy drive - small convoy with very diverse experience and a different than usual terrain. You handled it all pretty well and ofcourse we saw a perfect case of how much difference right deflation can make to a drive experience. Very well done especially on those self recoveries..👍 @Sam K apart from couple of small refusals almost a perfect drive for you. @takeshi sobue nothing in this drive could have challanged your FJ150 😂 Was fun to hear it roar. Though at times it made me think - was it really required for it to roar today? A bit more focus on right lines and carrying forward the momentum can take it to another level. @Haitham Khattab very nicely swept 👍 thanks a lot for your support. Thanks @JeromeFJ for joining in and sharing your experience and knowledge through the drive. Thanks all for a lovely morning, looking forward to see you all soon. Next week, m planning the drive around Lisali - the long range side of it (not the usual tech that Lisali is known for) - so if interested watch out for the calendar post on monday 7pm. Some stats from today's drive for all who are interested 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
