Good morning Frederic . 
I drive a Jeep wrangler Sahara  , 2019 model , 2 doors , gray color .

car has front and rear tow hooks / eyelets  
I completed a master class last week with Carnity . 
I have a radio station , I don’t have a safety flag yet . 

I’m looking forward to join the newbie drive this weekend if there still a possibility  or other upcoming drives soon. 
regards 

Ana 

Thanks @Ana i've added you to the drive. If you can get an off-road flag in the meantime that would be great. If not we can accept you for the first drive but will be definitely needed from the second drive onwards.

Thank you all for signing up !

Some small pointers for tomorrow:

1) Please try to arrive by 6:45, so you have time to deflate, set up your flag, and pour yourself a cup of coffee if you like  If you need help with deflating don't be afraid to ask. There will be supporting team members and myself walking around to assist you when needed.

2) We will be using Channel 4 on our walkie talkie. That is 446.081 Mhz. If you have any issues with setting up your radio, have a look at the drive topic here. We can also help out tomorrow if needed.

 

3) When you arrive, you can start deflating your tires to 14-15psi if you have HT (highway tires). In case of All Terrain (AT) tires you can deflate a bit further down to 12psi.

 

See you all tomorrow morning !

Do we still follow all those Covid-19 measures as shown in the video? No socializing, keeping distance, masks, etc...

No. Feel free to socialize as much as you like 😜
That Newbie briefing video was made during Covid times. We need to trim it a bit.
