Yes absolutely, @M.Seidam will be leaving early after Iftar, so the first batch of cars can follow him to the tarmac. I wouldn't recommend anyone leaving by themselves at night. We will plan several exit options at different timing and assign the radio channel so that everyone can coordinate whenever they wish to leave.

@Mark D Congratulation. Well done.

Thanks @Hisham Masaad! I really appreciate it!

@Gaurav Hi this is my first tome actually, all noted 👍🏻 can’t wait to join the next absolute newbe

@AlexM- absolutely! It's precisely the reason why I'm popping by the Iftar Drive to drop some off

Welcome guys. Its fun

Wow 😮 Now I'm thinking about joining this iftar Since I didn't join because I've drive with @M.Seidam on the same day 😃

@Gaurav would it be possible to take an early exit directly after iftar? think i should be able to navigate my way back. i see that the planned exit is at about 9?

Hi Gaurav, Thanks for the info. It is first time for me to go off roading in sand. looking forward to it

@fayez @Ajay Kakkar and @Amit Mathu welcome to carnity, being a first time with carnity, please remember to carry your own deflator, tire pressure gauge, and compressor to inflate after the drive, which is a must for everyone. Please share your off-road driving experience if you have so that I can plan your convoy position accordingly. Also note, that this Grand Iftar Drive is an exceptional drive (more of a get-together) which means you still need to join next week's Absolute Newbie drive to get the full orientation for off-roading and driving in the sand. After completing the absolute newbie drive you can join any newbie drive thereafter.

@Mark D congrats mate

Congratulations @Mark D

Hi @munkybizness - I see you are planning to attend both Iftar drive and the night driver after, any chance I can grab the sticker from you during either? 👋

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for a very enjoyable afternoon drive. Always learning new things under your excellent lead. @varunmehndiratta congratulations on your first, and well executed lead drive in the second half. Looking forward to more with you.

Congrats @Felix Obst

@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.

Well done @Mark D 👏👏

We had lots of issues but we patiently overcame them with yours and Varun’s leadership @varunmehndirattaThanks for leading the second part through the long range and technical areas @Krishna R I hope your car issued will get resolved and ready for the sand next weekend. Hope it is nothing major To the rest of the convoy members @Jessica Lambert@Paolo Morresi @DP1011 @FiNaR @Pierre de Maigret @Gerrit Bus @Felix Obst @Harshal @Beide Worku, thanks for coming out.
