Dear Desert Drivers, 

Thank you for signing up for the drive on Saturday morning. This itinerary is very scenic, and offers a nice progression from small to medium and finally high dunes.  The drawback is that we might not be alone in the area, but we will find ways to avoid the crowd. 

I will issue the convoy order tomorrow by the end of the afternoon. Kindly let me know before that in case you changed your plans. Use this time to check the condition of your car if needed, and why not make sure you have your radio already programmed with the 10 Carnity frequencies ! 

Stay tuned !

Dear Desert Drivers, 

Thank you for joining the drive today. The first portion was not the best, as finding a way through the cross tracks and the bushes was difficult. Still the small bowls are a good terrain for practice before reaching the high slopes, and the long dune offers always opportunities for sidesloping.

Once we crossed the pylon track close to Fossil Rock, no more bushes, and we could navigate between bowls and ridges, with the view of the mountains on the opposite side, until we gradually reached the mighty Faya dune, where we have practiced larger bowls and big slopes, up and down. 

Excellent level in the group, as we had only minor refusals, and one occasion requiring shoveling. @Mohamad Anwer, it was a great pleasure to have you as second lead, @Nathan L, your lines are precise, excellent control of your car, @Jad Moussalli it was a pleasure to see the Defender in its environment rather that on Downtown Boulevard, it has impressive capabilities @Mike., the white rhino was steady on the ridges and the long climbs, even if it doesn't like the steep ones, @Jaro Tuzinsky you have improved the control especially during the descends, nice drive, keep the focus at all time when you will join FB+ @Zixuan Huang - Charlie thank you for the support, always present when needed, @Patrick van der Loo that Jeep can climb anywhere , @Zulfikhar Naiyar excellent drive and communication, thank you for the sweep.

It was a pleasure to have you all for the drive and the nice chats during the breaks, enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you next time !

Always a true pleasure to drive with you @JeromeFJnot just for the expertise as a lead but also because you take the time to explain what you are about to do and then give direct feedback to the drivers when they apply it themselves. For someone who is trying to understand the Whats and Whys rather than slamming the pedal and enjoying the rush (can’t deny the fun part though :)), I genuinely appreciate this and I thank you for taking the time to pass on the knowledge and the experience. Always a pleasure to be in your drives. Looking forward for the next ones!

@Patrick van der Loo happy I caught this as it seems to be another non active user in Carnity with the same user name minus the dot at the end. Would be great if you can share some of the content. My number is 055-4284084. I have some cool footage of you to share back :)
