Full Day Intermediate Desert Drive - Al Quaa - Abu Dhabi - 12 Nov 2022

[Srikumar]

Drive Info

With the cool winter breeze finally starting to set in, its time to hit the big playgrounds that UAE has to offer. And, there is none bigger than the monstrous dunes of Al Quaa. This area has every kind of dune structure possible, pyramid dunes, starfish dune, steep slip faces, and bowls the size of a football stadium. 

 

BOWLS

 

STARFISH DUNES

 

STEEP SLIP FACES

This will be the ultimate test of driver and machine. You will be redlining the engine, and your car will still crave for more. And if you felt the the above was not enough, here is the best part - we will be joined by @Frederic and @Gaurav 

So drivers, Start your engines!!!

Important Points for all drive participants

1. This drive is for Intermediates who have already completed min. 2 IM drives with Carnity.
2. Keep your car as light as possible. This is not a drive to have passengers.
3. There is no need to carry extra fuel
4. Ensure that you are with a tank full to the brim at the meeting point
5. The plan is to end the drive when we run out of fuel (so please dont keep any kind of other appointments for that day). 
6. Take the E95 route only, as that has the closest gas station. All other routes dont have any gas station close to the meeting point. 
7. Ensure that your car is in the best possible condition. 
8. Finally, if you run out of fuel in the middle of the drive, it would be sold by the other team members at AED 100 per litre🤣. So ensure that you conserve fuel by turning the engine off at every break.
9. Bring some quick wrapped sandwiches or lunch to eat along the way.
