Hi Jerome, since I’m in iftaar drive, I’m getting the error message. Request you to allow me in

Exit the Iftar drive and join this one first. Iftar drive has no drive participant restrictions.

Dear Desert Drivers,

For tomorrow we have a strong group of experienced drivers, weather conditions still enjoyable, and a vast area with a lot of possibilities to explore. So perfect conditions for a nice morning drive.

@Ashutosh Garg @Joji varghese @Anoop Nair @Ignacio Quindós @Rajiv Sam @Sam K @Imran Kashif @Chris Wing @Ranjan Das

I will issue the convoy order by the end of the afternoon. Just let me know before that in case you changed you plans.

For those who could not do it before, use this time to program your radio with the 10 Carnity channels. It will take you 20 min max, and then you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Hi @JeromeFJ. Unfortunately my car is at the workshop and they just told me it won’t be ready for tomorrow, so I’ll remove myself from the drive. Have a nice one!

Sorry to miss you, see you next time!
