Drive Details

Level:  Fewbie Plus and above (all levels)

Meeting time: 2:30 PM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/UgrUBGuNzf7tZrpF8

Action Plan: A follow up of the Desert Champion Trophy, we are planning to go after and reach all the "Red" waypoints of the recent challenge in Razeen. These were the more difficult waypoints to collect. To this level of difficulty, we'll have to add the time constraint of needing to finish the drive and exit by the time the sun goes down (darkness will occur at 5:55PM). 

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 06:00 PM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.

LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE:

• This drive is limited to 8 cars only. RSVP will close on Monday - 10 PM.

• Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others.

This sounds awesomely fun, and awesomely ambitious  🤩

Hi @Sunil Mathew. Thanks for joining. Due to the low response to the drive, I have thought it's better to postpone it to the next Friday afternoon (Dec. 15th). I will add the drive and post it again as part of that weekend's calendar. I hope you'll still join. Thanks again.

No problem @Ale Vallecchi...Friday AN also looks doable for me 👍

Hey, @Ale Vallecchi I would like to join this drive as well. Since I registered to Saturday LIWA trip, the going button is not active. Could you add me to the list of participants?

Hi @Alex T. I think that's happened because the system is still set (until this Wednesday) to avoid double signing. In this case, given that I still have 4 places available, and for the special nature of both this and the YT drive, I'll add you manually. Thanks for joining.

Thanks, @Ale Vallecchi

I think touching all the Red Points in three to three and a half hours is a bit ambitious, but anything is possible when @Ale Vallecchi is at the helm. All the best.

request @Frederic to audit the results 😁.

Looking fwd to it Ale, just don't go close to the no-go zone, where the fence sucked my car and we wasted so much time.
