So disappointed to see the turn the comments have taken since 2 days. Did the so praised values of solidarity and learning together vanish under the harsh sun of Liwa desert ? Probably @PaoloMaraziti for his 1st IM drive was a bit below the required level. I know how physically and mentally demanding an IM drive can be, and a driver with 1, 5 or 10+ IM drive will not behave the same. But why no one told him ? There were plenty of drives on the same day, and I'm sure he would have happily accepted to change. And once a drive is started, we usually adapt the drive to the participants level, and not the opposite... So what's the point being so hard on him ? And for @Shaaz Sha also, even with all the training and previous drives, a Lead with 3 or 4 drives lead will not have the same experience than a Lead with 20+ drives lead, so let's recognize he was probably not prepared for this extreme situation, but who would have expected this to happen ? With so many drives in the same area the same day, he could have asked for support earlier. Having said so all of us present that day have learned a lot, and Paolo did it the hard way. Luckily he is safe, and everyone else around also, so let's calm down, take the learnings, and keep growing together.

I am very sorry to hear about the incident @PaoloMaraziti.. thanks to Allah that you and everyone involved are safe and hats off to everyone who supported this extreme recovery and getting everyone safely out. No doubt these are very stressful situations and leaves marks in everyone’s mind and soul specially those who witnessed it first hand, not speaking of those who were at the center like yourself. I enjoyed driving with you and wish to drive more with you hoping you would reconsider your decision. Finally, these incidents are part of the inherent risks we all sign up for and accept when we go for an extreme sport like offroading. Let’s please use the analysis to learn and be better off-roaders but avoid blaming and pointing fingers at anyone; this will bring no value to anyone.

Dear friends from ladies and gents in the Carnity tribe I can’t describe my feelings , but I can say this when I was given all this trust , help , guidance from near or from far I have no choice than taking my hat off with respect and gratitude. Thank you @Carnity for the recognition , a place that I like because I still believe in my self and you guys despite the differences in opinion thoughts but the vision remains the same because at end of the day we enter the desert together and we exit together no matter what happened . I learned a lot and still long way to go . Special mentions to those whom I drove with them I learned from them and will never forget that they were their and still supporting the passion inside of me @Chaitanya D @Gaurav @Hisham Masaad @Wrangeld @Frederic @Islam Soliman @Rizwanm2 @Srikumar @Lorenzo Candelpergher @Anish S @Jeepie @Brette @Shaz Shah and all whom I drove with thank you for your support and help each one by his name . I will try always to keep it safe for self and for every one in this inherently risky motor sport to the best of my knowledge. best time always cheers Mohamed

Drive Report Dear friends , @Davie Chase @munkybizness @Anoop Nair @Charbell @Felix Obst @Imteeaz Goolamhossen @Alexander Holodny @Gertjan @Alfred Alinazar @Prakash Anoop These days the morning is becoming more cool and a drive along with such fine people like you guys is even more fun and cool . After the drive briefing the convoy started on an easy rhythm so everyone could get accustom and warm up with the first side slope that it was done one by one and I have to say that it was a treat to see every one enjoying his own machine smooth and nice . After which we did this over and over as a convoy till we jumped to the next level of crossing mixed between criss cross and straight up/down fashion depending on the given opportunity and what the terrain dictates. Technicality is part of the mixed drive like today. Every one did great. upon the first stop for a short break Alfred realised his right back tire was almost flat and it turned out that a mini pop out occurred dislodging sand particles which precluded proper sealing. As a team we managed to get it fixed somehow and we continued our journey of rock and roll . During the way we met the convoy of @Ale Vallecchi in a “mystery “ that took them to right direction ( from Ale’’s post ) 😎 and with a click turning it on channel two we greated their convoy with mutual loud smiles😄. We passed the second patch of technical with maybe two refusals and carried on to the third set of long range dunes where their Valleys were designed by nice shaped rock formations . Sweeping the length over the relatively flat ridges and medium to short slip faces was more than wonderful and a chance to steer it in control . Continuing east and south till we joined the pylon track ( which it’s continuation more south will lead you to Abudhabi boarders )… not that far🤣 we did ,instead, enter the desert again shortly west to north west craving for the shade and water and it was my favorite crescent lake 🏝 After eventually we replaced Alfred’s Vehicle tire ( spare same size but different brand ) as the problem seems to persist, again I came to the decision of early exit or an extension of up to 30 min to our planned exit . Everyone agreed for the extra time and the last chapter was really epic and challenging and I believe every one was up to the challenge. I always keep plan B and C if necessary. And today plan B turned even more thrill and challenge Than just to snake the slip faces back. I was forced toward the super technical area along parallel with pylon/ cycle track and here couple refusals and one awesome crest all managed with no rope recoveries by all the collective team work in no time. Redirecting the convoy and we existed this super tricky area safely toward the exit point . I enjoyed today leading this trip and on top of that the true spirit of team work which was evident by every one in their active contribution to help and assist as well adhering to the drive and convoy discipline and respect to Mother Nature made our day so smooth nice interesting and joyful making any issue throughout like piece of cake . thank you again every one all by his name for this wonderful day out till next time wish you a wonderful time drive safe cheers 🙏👍

Thank you @Shaaz Sha for the amazing drive yesterday ! This area is difficult, and taking a Fewbie convoy through these tight bowls, high dunes and sharp crests is a challenge. You managed to lead the way so that everyone could have his shot of adrenaline and enjoy safely. Thank you @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil for the great support and complete drive report. All of you in the convoy did very well, with a few refusals and stuck that can be expected with the soft sand. Understanding why we get stuck, and going out with the guidance of the support team is part of the learning. I enjoyed a lot being part of the drive. Thank you all and see you soon on the sand.

Well said Islam and I just rem to share another example how first attempt usually a part of learning curve than blaming anyone. When we got the car down, and we need to tow dead vehicle for 20 meter smooth incline, 3 cars and 4 drivers (including myself) failed with all the hp, torque and experience. That doesn't mean that all previous cars and drivers were incompetent or inexperience for such a small tug. It means nothing is confirmed, guaranteed or proven that we will always be correct in our first attempt when it comes to off-roading.

Look at this beautiful convoy of ridge-riders. This was my view for most parts of the day Since excellent drive reports have already preceded my post, I won't labour the point any more. Firstly, thank you @M.Seidamfor your lead. From driving with you in support to now being on two drives under your leadership, it's truly a great experience coming out with you. From getting the convoy into a good pace for the first leg, slowly building up their confidence between long-range dunes and then tight twisties, it was a great warm up given we had some shivering at the briefing @Charbel - taking on the SL at the very last minute can be daunting but you played that role with elan. We hardly had any major re-routes because you were always giving Doc enough space to choose his path and then leading the convoy there. We haven't driven together in a very long time. @Anoop Nair - As the second most experienced driver on this convoy, I was always safe in the knowledge that the center was in the strongest and most deft hands. Always a pleasure to be on a drive with you @Imteeaz Goolamhossen - It always warms me up to see another Y61 on the convoy. From the thrill in your voice at the stops, it was clear that you were having a ton of fun up front. Great drive! @Gertjan - Definitely didn't look like your first FB. Great job! @Alexander Holodny - Excellent throttle management with the Montero. It really shows how much you're getting to know your car! @Prakash Anoop - Effortless driving at the back and cool as a cucumber even with your fiery red Wrangler. @Davie Chase - Thank you for stepping in and supporting on the tire pop-out and swaps. Also, your experience in the field with jacks and how to change spares was a great lesson for the entire convoy. It also meant that Doc Seidam always had a second pair of able and knowledgeable hands to assist and run ideas off. @Felix Obst - Thank you for jumping into action in every recovery. Also, all those rocks did not slow you down one bit. Excellent driving in the back too! @Alfred Alinazar - Some days are just tougher than others. Every single one of us has been there, and will be there again. But most importantly, great job on keeping your nerves together. I've been quite rattled in the past after a pop-out (I've had 3) that it took upwards of an hour to get my confidence back. Add to that, driving at the end of the convoy is always challenging because the sand is the most churned up here. If you can find a less churned up track not too far off the main track that eases your path, please do that. Pushing through the tracks of 9 cars especially when climbing will severely impact how much momentum you have left when you get to the top. Great job exiting early and safely when you did to loop again. Also, the rear tire did not help you much today. Beyond that, excellent drive in the back! Thank you all for a great day out - and ending it with that painting of a sky was a special treat See you all out on the sands soon!

Thanks, everyone here for your inputs on the tricky Paolo's FJ recovery. A great round of applause for everyone to pitch in and coordinate with whatever they can to make things right and safe as soon as we can at such a tricky angle and a huge slip face. Here are my learnings, mistakes, and takeaway from such incidents. FJ Cruiser: Lifted with dangerous height without compensating the center of gravity by widening the stance. I noticed that in the morning and I think it's 4-6 inches above standard FJ height. I didn't ask or mention anything assuming (my mistake) that Paolo must be driving this super lifted FJ for a long time as he has reached IM level, so he has been safely married to this higher stance. FJ Cruiser from the factory has a borderline tipsy center of gravity, so FJ owners who lift FJ more must be 200% aware of this ridiculously bad center of gravity and MUST adjust their drive style accordingly. Paolo: As Paolo already accepted his driver error, that starts the journey for learning after the acceptance. He didn't follow the same line as Shaaz and Ranjan. He didn't exit and come down to re-attempt. Kept fighting gravity until the whole momentum was lost. Switched off the car after 14:45 minutes on side slope stuck. Paolo refused to come out after the side flip (GRAVE MISTAKE). This alone could have cost much trouble for everyone. In case of side flip or roll-over - NUMBER ONE PRIORITY is to get human life out and then figure out ways to think it through to control the situation. After removing the seatbelt and sitting in a flipped vehicle on a slip face with 30-40 meter height could have been a nightmare if FJ rolled. In a side flip position with leaking fluids, the car could have caught fire. If Paolo loses consciousness in such a side flip position, we need to risk more lives to get him out. Learning: If you lost track or line, exit safely and make a second attempt. If you can't make it a second attempt, request lead to re-route. Switch off the engine ASAP when you have a roll-over or side flip. Exit the vehicle ASAP if you have secured the vehicle and removed your seat belt. Shaaz: Managed to recover the vehicle in the best possible ways but due to inherent damage caused by 50-60 degree tilt it was almost inevitable to avoid the side flip. He requested Paolo to switch off the engine, which probably got missed on the radio, and reconfirmation of the same would have at least saved the engine (maybe). He could have comforted and assured Paolo that the car is secured with 2 cars and its safe for him to get out from the boot door. Gaurav: While in an attempt to reach them faster I went in a straight line in big dunes, which cost us a couple of refusals until I decide to backtrack and look for a straight but long way to reach them. I could have comforted Paolo over the phone and made him convince to get out of the car by explaining the risk involved. Extreme Recovery While in extreme recovery, we all know that we need to follow certain standards and steps to handle the situation. These steps are designed to provide maximum safety and control. Switch off the engine Get the driver and passenger out Bring the vehicle back on its wheel Let it sit for a while so that engine oil and other fluids can settle down. If a vehicle is not switched off immediately, the car will not start due to internal engine damage. Making extreme recovery more tedious and time-consuming to tow the vehicle out or seek expensive desert recovery trucks. If the engine is cranking and not starting then the spark plug need to be removed. If the engine is not cranking (turning over) means some internal damage is already happened by a delay in switching off the vehicle. That's why I suggested moving the engine crank by hand. Jumpstart and car started but with loud clanking noise of piston or connecting rod that must have starved due to lack of lubrication and stalled the engine. If the vehicle starts after the flip or roll, let the white smoke subside within the first 2-5 minutes, and then it's safe to be driven out till tarmac (but not with white smoke). If we would have used a car engine to push for those 20 meters incline with clanking noise it could have either stalled or blown the piston out when it's clearly hitting some hard metal inside the chamber at 750 rpm, imagine a blow at 4-5K rpm, might cause an instant engine burst. Trip lead is prime Every Carnity trip lead has been selected after rigorous testing (attitude and skillset) from all existing Marshals and crew based on several drives, incidents, initiative, and presence of mind. Every Carnity trip lead then goes through the intensive leaders lead training to cover all aspects of leading drives, navigation, basic troubleshooting, and extreme recovery. And then allowed to lead the first few drives under supervision before they embark on leading their individual drives. Shaaz has completed 79 drives with Carnity in the last 16 months and has successfully completed all the pre-requisites to lead a drive in Liwa. Unfortunately, Shaaz has seen such extreme recovery too soon, but it doesn't make him a lesser lead or junior lead in anyways. Such accidents or incidents are part of this extreme sport and that's why we always remind everyone during the briefing not to lose track or fight gravity. I humbly request everyone for big learning and take away that please abide by trip lead instruction (new or old) at all times considering your safety first. Always support the trip lead with whatever they request you to contribute, as keeping trip lead car and mind free to gain complete control during such extreme situations. Be more nice and gentle with your suggestions for them to evaluate accordingly. Keep a calm demeanor during extreme recoveries so that everyone can think it through and make the right decisions. Replacement Yellow Truck - IM drive We will soon plan a replacement drive for all IM drivers who missed this drive and boldly supported such extreme recovery with all the best efforts, tools, vehicles, and knowledge to display brilliant teamwork at the end.

@Zed @xavier @Looper @Gok Krish @Karthikeyan Govindarajan @Josh T. It was an absolute pleasure driving with you all. Great driving skills by everyone and I couldn't have though of a better group to spend the day in Liwa. We experienced everything in this drive and had to deal with difficult situations but teamwork prevailed! The V8 of @Josh T. prevailed for sure by towing Asif's car out of the desert Got lots of cool photos and can't wait for the next edition of Liwa. Big thanks to @Asif Hussain for this memorable drive and hope you can get your car fixed quickly to hit the dunes again. @Shaaz Sha and @Jeepie thanks for the amazing help and guidance throughout the day.

Well done @munkybizness thank you for the detailed and superb report . your sweep was fantastic with clear communication of what was happening in the back . Now I know why I will choose you to sweep next time , in addition you were excellent, but for the amazing capture that told more than half of the story 😉

I had heard about the dunes in Liwa before the drive but to experience it first hand was an experience. The landscape is an art with majestic dunes and deep vertical declines. Right from the foggy morning to the drives on loose sand, the vertical drops and the wrap with the golden hour sunset - thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thanks to @Chaitanya D for the amazing lead - great effort and attention to detail in navigating a safe and fun route - amazing energy!! First drive with @Gaurav - learned a lot on how one plans an approach and exit. And finally for the wonderful group to make this full day drive a memorable one. Looking forward to more such drives. Attaching some pictures from the drive.

Hi off roaders, Thank you all for making it on time at the meeting point. We were all ready and waited for few minutes for the three No show member today for around 10 minutes. After the radio check and briefing we entered the area where it was not too crowded.. Only few cars , but the tracks from previous days were obviously there.. which were annoying at some points. After a few minutes of warm up , we started slowly to the side slops where every one did a good job..It was nice to see you guys doing it very safely. Good work guys.The terrain had enough to practice all our skills and it was quite technical towards the exit. We had a few refusals and a stuck followed by a pop out which were all handled the best way by @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, @Chinthaka Ruwanand @JeromeFJThank you Guys .. You were absolutely amazing.. 👏👏👏. @JeromeFJ, thank you for being the second lead.. you did a good job in re-routing where ever needed and kept the convoy moving. Your assistance while recoveries where also great. Thank you. @Joji varghese, @Reggie Landicho, @FARAZ MOHAMMED, @Enrico Biscaro, @Naim Aoun, @Rsjiv Samuel, and @Gregory... you guys were all good . We had few time consuming stuck s and i appreciate you support and patience.Thank you all once again and sees you soon. Some pics in the gallery..

I'm reviewing the videos, I'll keep on adding on this post: Here we have some interesting drops and Asif parking in the crest 😂 : https://gopro.com/v/62geQ7Q04kr6o Arrival at the yellow truck: https://gopro.com/v/KRqk6o0lyZrRa Quite a big drop: https://gopro.com/v/8vgyB7V5onaXX Difficult climb in soft patch: https://gopro.com/v/lrzQl33Zr3EV5 Fun climb and drop: https://gopro.com/v/zPopXBX1PDzp1 Fun sequence: https://gopro.com/v/zPopD65Kl67ZK

Thanks leaders and colleagues for the very nice ride , enjoyed it a lot with this great group , lots of tips and learnings I had yesterday , fun , learning and building confidence what we really experienced yesterday with all of you , thanks a lot as well for the very nice photos , c u all in the next rides….. @Ale Vallecchi @Russ @PaoloMaraziti @Sunil Mathew

Thanks @Shaaz Sha for the drive, and @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil and @JeromeFJ for the excellent support, especially in the challenging terrain. I had a friend with me today... introducing him to the desert.. and he was impressed with Carnity as a club, and the sense of teamwork especially when things were a little challenging and help was needed. 👍👍👍 Wish everyone a good week ahead!

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this smooth and safe drive, really enjoyed a lot @Sunil Mathew thanks for your advice, sure I will work on that Also thanks for all the other convoy members to make this drive successful.

@Shaaz Sha Thanks for the excellent drive today. Shuwaib is a challenging terrain also one of my favorite area in UAE. Everyone did really good and pushed it to the next level. It will be a good experience when reaching to next level. Thanks @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil and @JeromeFJ for excellent support. Supporting a long convoy in this area is not easy and you guys did a great job. Some pictures are uploaded in the gallery. Nice to see you all and have a great week.

Thank you @Shaaz Sha for the drive, and well done on taking a Fewbie convoy into such a technical and challenging terrain that is Shuwaib. It was definitely a good occasion to learn and practice some skills that will help Fewbies go to the next level. In this terrain one needs to keep a good pace so you don't loose momentum while keeping a focused eye on the car in front as the risks of refusals are many. And I do believe the convoy was up to the challenge today. Having @JeromeFJ as 2nd lead and support is a blessing. Your experience in rerouting and managing the convoy is valuable. Same for recoveries and tricky situations. Plus, you have proven many times before and today how helpful and knowledgeable you are in supporting. @Joji varghese didn't get the chance to see you much as you were closely and perfectly sticking to Jerome's tracks. @Reggie Landicho you have to get extra credits for driving a manual. We often forget how different and technical it is to shift gears especially on soft sand. Remember, momentum is your friend, sometimes giving it an extra push in the beginning can help you cross the dunes. @FARAZ MOHAMMED welcome back. The refusals you had were mainly due to the technicality of terrain. I am sure that coming back to the desert you will re-adapt to driving you Pajero in the sand. You had your first pop-out today... it had to happen one day @Enrico Biscaro you pushed your self and your car very well and always alert on what was happening around you. @Chinthaka Ruwan anchoring the convoy very well. Your support was very much needed. It was a pretty long convoy and you were there to keep an eye open and make sure everything was smooth. @Naim Aoun your approach to the dunes is surgical you have a good approach of testing your limits to keep control on your vehicule and capabilities. I believe it's a good way to learn safely. @Rsjiv Samuel you handle your FJ pretty well. Wandering in the dunes looks easy for you. And now, after 2 drives together in less than a week, I'm sure I won't forget you :)) @Gregory you are a very contained and patient driver. Also perfectly handling your big car in the technical areas as well as climbing high dunes. Also thank you everyone for the team spirit and support when we had to get the shovels out ! Really enjoyed driving with all of you and hope to see you soon. PS : @Fabien Monleau we would have loved to have you and your LC in the picture ... another time

Last year, I viewed a lot of awesome photos and read a lot of great reports about the Liwa drives. This year, I made it a point to visit the Yellow Truck and I am glad that I did. Liwa did deliver on its promise by leaps and bounds. My day started well. When I stopped at the 2nd last petrol station to refuel before the meeting point, I bumped into these 2 legends @Gaurav @Srikumar , after a quick hello, I tailed them to the meeting point. The weather was perfect. It was still foggy when we arrived at the meeting point and slowly more people (and cars) arrived and the buzz, enthusiasm and activities went a notch higher. I had the pleasure of meeting @Niki whom I had communicated over WhatsApp on FJ matters on numerous occasions. and he was ever so informative and helpful. Also, thanks for the croissant and coffee! I have not been driving regularly this year and since I know Liwa is challenging, I am glad that I joined this drive under the great leadership of @Srikumarand @Anish S . I have driven quite a few times with these 2 gentlemen before and I enjoyed their clear communication, style of convoy and driving. I knew that I am in safe hands and I will get to enjoy the beautiful Liwa. After the clear and precise briefing from Sri, particularly, on how to descend from the tall dunes, we got started and it was indeed exciting. Most of us had to check our tyre pressure and deflate a couple of times as the pressure gradually increased with the temperature. I enjoyed being in SL and get to see for myself the perfect lines and throttle applied by Sri on the soft Liwa sand dunes. We had a few enjoyable shoveling sessions, also an opportunity to rest, rehydrate and enjoy the scenery. The first long break came when Sri and Anish had to troubleshoot the overheating issues on the LR3. It was a good call to take a break to the Yellow Truck and come back later after the car has cooled down. Great help from @Asif Hussain to get the LR3's clutch fan to work again and @Derius Oliviermanaged to drive the second half session without any problems. @Ali Shah Thanks for the great conversations and you are doing really well as this is just your second drive. I hope there will be many more drives for you. @Adnan Halepota@Karthik Raptor @Derius Olivier Everyone drove really well! I really enjoyed this convoy and glad that we navigated Liwa safely and came out in one piece. Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication from @Srikumar @Anish S and not forgetting the great help from @Asif Hussain Dr @Chaitanya D We got out shortly before sunset and made it back to Dubai in good time. I hope to see you all again soon.

@Ale VallecchiWould have loved to join this, unfortunately I am travelling 😬

Thanks @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil I actually drives an automatic have tried on D position but I had a challenges in dunes climbing. Though, I have tried on the last climb starting with Gear 1 quick shift to gear 2. I felt good about it, I just need to be comfortable and have a bit of more hill climb practices. I’ll be there🤞 Thanks so much again supporting the whole group. Thanks for this nice shot. I’ll definitely download it🙏

Please waitlist me for 2nd drive @Ale Vallecchi

Hi Frederic I am so looking forward to this I have a 2014 LC 200 stock vehicle with no changes / modifications I took a master class with Brette and a recovery class with Ricard Last month. That is about 3-4 hours of experience

@Danish Mohammad would have loved to see you my friend Next time !

Dear @Shaaz Sha @JeromeFJ & @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil Good morning Apologize for getting late to reach on start point and making everyone disturb. For sure will take care next time. Regards...

Thank you Dr @Chaitanya D for wonderful drive. I gained lot of experience and enjoyed magnificent liwa. Thank you for all your hardwork and accompany us all the way till dubai. 👍 Special thanks to @Gaurav for all the assistance and advices to get out of tricky situations.

Some of the videos we took:https://share.icloud.com/photos/0kPkovFO0aQD7-xNImIdZ7rvQ not sure if it works. First time I try to link to video on Carnity - should be 11 videos

Hello Guys. It was a golden opportunity for me as a lead to have another LL session from @Asif Hussainwho have mastered in LIWA. It was my first drive with him and first time to LIWA desert. It was a wonderful experience to make it to the yellow truck leading a convoy and under the supervision and guidance of @Asif Hussain . The terrain as you all know was totally different from what we find in dubai and Sharjah and the way of approaching the dunes itself was different in this part .!!! We had a real strong convoy to take up the challenges. On our way way to the yellow truck we had a break in a farm..which was again a different experience. Reaching the yellow truck it was another surprise for all of us to see the truck painted in yellow and UAE flag behind..and for me my second attempt to make it there and the first accomplished one. The second half of the drive it was @Asif Hussainturn to show us the real nature and fun of the LIWA sands... really loved those deep slopes and massive bowls....and much more from the legend. Thank you sir for making it possible for me to experience LIWA as a lead and for the rest of the convoy to make it to the yellow truck and enjoy the LIWA drive. Thanks to @Jeepie for sweeping the convoy and helping us in recoveries. It was a pleasure to be with @Xavier Treasurer, @Looper, @Zed, @Gok Krish, @Karthikeyan Govindarajan, @Chris Wingand @Josh T...Guys enjoyed the drive with you. @Josh T.did an amazing job in exiting the broke down car to the tarmac. keep it up bro.. Thank you guys once again and hope to catch up with you soon. some pics in gallery ☺️🙏

No problem, happy to help, us Raptor boys need to stick together 😃

Some great pictures! Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for a great drive, and @Sunil Mathew the Raptor was doing what it does best! @Russ Thanks for the technical tips on the Raptor. Manual made a big difference and I just relied on low rpm and torque. I will have more questions next time we meet! 😂

I really enjoyed the smooth and relaxing morning drives thanks to @Ale Vallecchi lead and advice. @Sunil Mathew you are totally right about flooring the gas ( i think it has become a habit 😅😂) and yes its time to install front and rear skid plates. @Russ its always a pleasure to meet you and i really appreciate your professional support and advice. Looking forward to meet you all again. Thanks

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for today’s drive, there continues to be things to learn and new areas to explore on your drives, and great to see @PaoloMaraziti as your co-pilot and designated videographer as well! The drive contained plentiful opportunities for everyone to practice side sloping, ridge riding and crossing dunes, the latter presented some challenges due to the sometimes uncomfortable feeling of being unsure of exactly what is on the other other side, but with practice and confidence this skill will soon become second nature to all drivers. @khurram.k @takeshi sobue @Azeem M @Simon Dawood @Mark D @Goh KP @Belal Aldaour @ahmed salama @Harshad Ashraf @Sunil Mathew good to drive with you all, please find some pictures from the day in the gallery section 📸 See you soon 🌵

Thanks @M.Seidam, Carnity team, great drive! Some pictures loaded in the gallery: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1107-fewbie-qudra-dubai-4-dec-2021

@M.Seidamfantastic drive today appreciate all the knowledge we gained from your leadership. As challenging and fun and most of all the team work to get through the couple of issues we had on the drive. True Carnity.
