@Ale Vallecchi - Thanks for the drive. You showed the true quality of leader by allowing Varun to take over the second part of drive. Which was first for him. And I always love your briefs. You thought me about how not to get crested when driving the long car. @varunmehndiratta- I agree with Beide. Great Marshal in making. Your drive was fast with least stops @topgear - Thanks for the sweep but did not get to talk to you. Next time @Krishna R- Sorry that you had to exit due to the car. Hope it is fixed it by now. The drive was fun. We had multiple unscheduled during first leg. Each of this is a learning opportunity for us. Second portion was fast and fun.

Thanks everyone for great morning I. The sand! Thanks @Hisham Masaad for another great adventure. Thanks @Simon Dawood and @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for SL and CF/sweep! photos now uploaded to the gallery! Hope to see @Waqas Parvez and @Vaibhav when I make it to the next level! Enjoy lads!

Dear all, The drive time will be around 3 hours. From Murquab start point we will be sprinting to reach the Murquab sunset point by 6:40PM (Iftar Time) and enjoy some time watching sun set. Those who are fasting can break the fasting during this time. From then we will venture through some tall dunes and later head to the Baja track where we will be sprinting to the other side followed by some intense driving. Around 8 PM we will have another long break to enjoy the sky ( Make sure to get your camping chairs). Then we again step up the drive and make our way to Solar Park.

Hi @Mohamad Anwer. I am all good bro. I am planning accommodate the WL attendees, and I will add you to the drive. @Simon Dawood, can you plz confirm if you are available?

Hi everyone, I’ve just joined the community and I really look forward to be out there driving with everyone. I understood that for me to ride with the community I need to start with the absolute newbie desert drive, how can I stay up to date on when the next drive is? and how often is it made available? Thanks, Sam

Woohoo! Well done @Felix Obst! Well deserved! Hope to see you and the kids soon!🤟🏻

Hey @Mark D, welcome to the FB+ club! I see we will drive together this coming Sunday, happy to see you there!

@Brette thank you for a fantastic experience that wants me to keep coming back. The whole experience is quite commendable from a structure and organization points of view, to clarity in communication and available information and to a great safety net that you and @Looper have provided to help build the confidence in order to want more. I usually do not spend time blogging or writing feedback but I want to thank @Carnity represented by you guys for the first drive as well as the overall experience to date. Your passion and actions are making me become a Carnity ambassador. Until the next drive....take care gents. Mike

Hello @Krishna R. You have made it into the drive. Can you please confirm that you will be able to join? Thanks a lot.

@Ale Vallecchi I need to cancel... sorry,I hope someone can step in Have fun

Dear @Krishna R, even though you are #1 in the waiting list, precedence goes to those drivers with no scheduled drives during the weekend. As it looks like this would be your second drive, those without drives will move ahead of you, if someone drops out. Let's see if anything opens up, before being able to evaluate. Thanks for asking.

Hi @Paolo Morresi. Yes, my mistake, the correct frequency is as indicated above. Thanks for noticing. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
