Since my Masterclass with @Wrangeld in March, and after a few newbie drives I got inspired by the energy of the leaders and the dedication of the support team. Even though it was never a race, I was looking forward for that stepping stone. The desert is a peaceful haven, driving in the dunes is a challenging sport and I will gladly support and share this passion with others, in respect of @Carnity values and guidelines. Merci !

Nicely done team @Carnity …. Maybe not FIFA level (as Paolo commented) but definitely reminded me of the the Marhooz or dubai duty free draw (not because of the questionable results …. More to do with the well organized execution). @Jeepie pls make sure to make room in the trophy cabinet as it’s clear we are taking this home … don’t be nice to your husband out of pity … tough love for him and the others Looks hungry… may find you stuck at the nearest food truck!

Great progress @JeromeFJ. Wonderful news.

congrats and well deserved bro 👏👏

@Alain Canivet-Abikhalil congratulations. Great news 🤩

Dear @ZULFIKHAR NAIYAR The 8" inch as a minimum requirement we use in the club is measured in the same way as car manufacturers measure and put on their brochures or datasheet. That is being done by measuring the height from the floor up to the lower end of your vehicle's body (see in below image as well). For the Kia Sorrento 2015 model, this is unfortunately only 7,3 inch and this value is even taken without passenger or deflating the tires. This is below our absolute minimum requirement of 8inches and would also mean you would be facing more risk of damaging the underbody, bumpers, and even getting more stuck easily as soon as the tires sink into the sand a tiny bit. The approach angle is also important to look at, and the Sorrento with its 16.8 degrees is really too low, and that would most-probably mean you would be ending up with a damaged front bumper, even on your first offroad drive. I hope you understand our statement. We are open to many 4x4 and AWD vehicles, as long as these minimum requirements are being met. After all, it would not be a pleasant first drive for you if you would be ending up with a damaged vehicle on your very first drive. Let me include a previous post from 2020 we made on this topic:

Bravo cher ami ! @JeromeFJ

@Sunil Mathew Actually, I might be wrong because I am in a different time zone at the moment. The timing for the rest of the drives below looks unusual to me. Let me check with the admin and I will make the required correction. Please note that correct time for the drive is 2pm to 6pm. Thank you for bringing this to my attention Sunil.

@JeromeFJ I am really pleased you decided to apply for this promotion having seen the fantastic way you work with drivers of less experience on the drives.
