Gertjan Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hi @Looper, I guess you are busy running your optimization algo's to find the optimal desert route to get the most points for the least km's.

Looper Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thanks @Gertjan, @Sunil Mathew & @Pacific to join the drive. For what’s worth, we drove in a leisurely manner taking a lot of breaks but we drove fast. The initial section was fantastic in Sweihan Area… … even the approach to Nagra Hill was pretty good but the Nagra Hill itself is trash. So much trash around the area plus every square inch of the hill is double and triple crossed by tracks and it was quite a disappointment to drive on the hill. Having said that we drove a fantastic 72+ km in 2 and half hours including most tall dunes in the sweihan area. It was a fantastic practice for me for tomorrow’s #DCT23 See you all once again very soon. 1 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertjan Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thanks @Looper! Wow that was a drive! @Sunil Mathew, @Pacific great to share the drive with you all. Still managed to get a few picktures. Clearly the hands were on the steering and not the snapper for this trip. All the best with the DCT2023! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
