Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Nahel - Abu Dhabi - 21 Sep 2024

[JeromeFJ]

Great drive indeed, and a very nice way to start the season, for a few of us (incl me) who had a long summer break.

Nahel was a perfect place to restart, with a nice variety of terrains, medium size open dunes to start, bigger bowls and long climbs to push a bit those powerful engines, and a few technical portions in-between. In addition, beautiful desert views, that are always rewarding.

Excellent drive from all of you, and the few obvious mistakes that happened were a good opportunity to illustrate situations that can become risky... and to practice recoveries. @Emanuel was fully experiencing his supporting new role, which he did with dedication and efficiency.

@Luke K P, good to have you back, thank you for the 2nd lead, nicely executed.

@Jon L you made a beautiful use of that mighty truck, following the smooth lines of @Luke K P, well done for your 2nd FB drive. Still both of you scared me a bit on that ridge, do not overestimate the capabilities of your vehicles.

@Michael asir, congratulations for your first FB drive. You showed great control in the climbs and the bowls. reasonable in your expectations to climb, and taking action to steer down at the time needed. Well done.

@Tharun Kumar V well driven, with your experience, you know also the capabilities of your car, and adjust your lines accordingly.

@Rk ram ... what to say... even IM drivers have their moments... you have the experience, you have a powerful car,  you need to keep the focus even if the drive may look "simple". Being stuck with a steep angle at the top of a high bowl, you gave the opportunity to practice a tricky recovery.

@Deepak Eswar, all good, continue working on your controls, you had sometimes excessive speed or steering

@Aser, excellent driving, accurate and always in control. The summer had no effect on you !

@Emanuel, thanks again for the support, very much needed today

@Gaurav Soni, @Mehmet Volga, it was a pleasure to have you in the drive, thank you for joining.

You can post your feedback here, and your pictures in the gallery.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you soon !
