Night Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Al Khatim New Moon Protocols: Phase ZERO - 18 Feb 2026

[Luke K P]

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

Under a moonless sky in Al Khatim, we begin.

Phase ZERO marks the first chapter in a series of dedicated New Moon drives designed to sharpen night-driving skills and build true confidence in the dark.

With no ambient light to guide us, we rely on discipline, positioning, radio clarity, and trust in our convoy.

This mission will focus on riding high along the ridge lines — maintaining smooth momentum, controlled throttle, and precise steering under limited visibility. Drivers will practice deliberate criss-crossing on larger dunes, learning to read terrain through shadow, feel, and formation rather than sight alone.

The objective is simple: overcome hesitation, refine control, and transform the dark from uncertainty into advantage.

This is not a speed run.

This is calibration.

This is Phase ZERO.

Hi @Luke K P, since it’s announced that tomorrow is gonna be the 1st day of ramadan, i don’t think it’s safe for me to join after my 1st day of fasting. As much as i got hyped up with the description of the drive, i have to withdraw unfortunately.

 

Ramadan Kareem everyone

@Luke K P unfortunate but doubt I'll get off work early enough, seems the convoy thinned out pretty quick anyway

[Luke K P]

[Beide Worku]

Hey Team, We've had quite a few dropouts. 
Now it will be a very short convoy, and a short convoy, is a fast convoy 😎😎
