Hi @DP1011,

Unfortunately I can only join morning drives as I have other plans in the afternoon. I already did some newbie drives and I’m super confident with my car and my ability to drive offroad. I would really like to join this drive if possible.

Thanks,

Victor

Dear @Victor Socaciu I can completely relate to you, of my initial days into off-roading and excitement and confidence to do FB drives after couple of NB drives  - however Safety comes first and the grading structure in place as @Gaurav shared above has been with lot of inputs and experiences in past. Hence I have just removed you from RSVP, so others in WL can plan their weekend accordingly. 

Would for sure love to see you soon in one of the drives , and btw amazing choice of car  jeep power - all the way !!

Hello Summer warriors ! @Luke K P @Vijay Cowlagi @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar @Wilfredo Perez @Ahmed Farouk  + WL members - @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr @Ishak

As we get closer to the date and I start to work on the convoy numbering, can I please request you all to revisit your plan and if any change please accordingly update the RSVP, as we do have 3 WL members too. 

Some imp elements for you to consider for this drive : 

1. TIMELY ARRIVAL : The drive is in Abu Dhabi - and we will move sharp 5.55am and have briefing in sand - so you need to plan to be on or before scheduled meeting time accordingly.  The expected temperature around 10am is about 40 degrees ! hence Starting the drive and exiting on time will be crucial. - If you have any late night plans for Friday, I recommend take into account and skip the plan if not, then the drive

2. Its Getting Foggy in mornings, so please have additional buffer while planning what time to start from your residence and not rush up. 

3. ALL GEARS IN PLACE : Before starting, please ensure all your gears are in place, Radio's charged and flag mounts + Flags all in good shape and in place.....and goes without saying rest of the season, ensure your vehicles are in good shape and brace up for the heat !
