Hey @Hart welcome to Carnity Offroad Club!

You are absolutely welcome to join. I noticed you are now in the waitlist but i will try to accommodate as many people as possible. Make sure to take your time to watch our Newbie Briefing Video in the meantime.

Thanks!

Hi @Frederic, Excited for this drive!

Quick question - Should we expect a technical drive with steps, sharp drops and climbs? or is it going to be more or less like the RAK drive we did a weeks ago? Why I ask is, so I know which car I can bring to the drive.

Hey @Suneedh Wrangler! thanks for signing up! This drive will be closer to a "scenic" style. The dunes are not so large and the aim would be to find some "vegetation" free areas where we can practice some skills, followed by a sitdown at the lake.
