[GauravSoni]

Drive Info

With the success of the first edition of this Drive, we have the 2nd edition for the Proven Drivers and adrenaline seekers for the 2nd Edition. not to mention that this area offers monstrous dunes not found in any other place. This area has every kind of dune structure possible, pyramid dunes, starfish dune, steep slip faces, and bowls the size of a football stadium. 

 

BOWL

 

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. 

So drivers, Start your engines!!!

Important Points for all drive participants

1. This drive is for Intermediates who have already completed min. 5 IM drives with Carnity.
2. Keep your car as light as possible. This is not a drive to have passengers.
3. Carry extra 20 liters of fuel for cars <100 liters tank capacity.
4. Ensure that you are with a tank full to the brim at the meeting point
5. The plan is to end the drive by 12 but its a possibility that we may extend based on Fuel and fatigue / idle time (so please don't 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 don't have any gas station close to the meeting point.
