This is the plan half way the drive will take a break and enjoy the semi darkness somewhere in the mysterious desert of Qudra. stay tuned ..

Hi team. I'm looking forward to our night adventure. I have been out of the desert for too long now and I'm super eager to hit the dunes again.

Surprise Surprise!!! Dear Dune Surfers, @Gertjan @Tareck @Emanuel @Jaro Tuzinsky @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Mohammed Sirajuddin @Gerrit Bus @Naim Aoun @Pieter Potgieter @Jad Moussalli It time for Straight Line Drive. This drive is the Fourth edition of the Skill Drive Series which had been posted in previous weeks for Ridge riding, criss cross ,Technical terrain navigation, Side Sloping and Slip Attack We would be focusing on Driving straight up and Over the dunes on this Drive. The idea would be to learn more about your car capabilities of handling at low Speeds and finding the right momentum to get it across the dunes. There is an additional element to this drive... we would all be driving with Max RPM of 2000-2200!!.. this means you will need to control your throttle, play with tiptronics to get going... Also please confirm if there are any changes in your plan.. @Pacific @Rob S be prepared with Shovels and Ropes!!

There’s plenty more coming in the next few weeks… 🤞

Thank you Dr @M.Seidam for organizing this drive, looking forward to driving with you & all convoy friends here 🤞

Hello Ali, 2pm on sunday works for me, see you then.

my shovel and jack are ready for deployment😈

@Gaurav Soni - I should avoid reading your intros about drives, always get tempted 🤐 , Love the game of 2000 last time during TTT series ! - Great concepts, Am sure this will be another amazing learning experience, will miss out on this one !

Eveready😜

Hi @GauravSoni, looking forward! Had indeed a few crests on a night drive. Can you pls share the Meeting Point today if possible. Thanks!

Well zed you know I always sign in first for night drives especially if it’s srikumars drive , but this time I am waiting to see if my plans change , if they do then I will join the drive last minute …..

Thanks all for RSVPing for the drive. This really went faster than i expected - seems no one is scared of the crazy high dunes at Area 53 We have a very strong convoy - same usual supercool gang every sunday . However, considering the demanding nature of this terrain and our drive plan, refer below for some suggestions. To put things in perspective, Faya's highest point is 223mtr above sea level and plan here is to spend most of our time 200mtr above sea level - so it will be like climbing Big Red & Faya over and over again. a.) Unless fully convinced about yours and your vehicle's climbing ability, avoid passengers for this drive. Keep the vehicle light and your mind free of any distractions. b.) If your vehicle has struggled in past to climb steep dunes in D mode, this will surely be a drive where you would need to use Tip Tronics - so would be good to get used to it before the drive. Ofcourse, we will explore this element during the drive as well, however, some practice before the drive always helps - especially if not used to it. c.) Ensure you have all your off-roading gears. d.) Above all you need to ensure that you are fully rested for the drive. So, plan the parties on friday night not saturday. Looking forward to see you all on red dunes of Area 53. @Mahmoud Taha and @Sam K congrats on being promoted to FB+, as our gift to you - you both will be the official shovel manager on this drive. Have a nice protein rich breakfast for next few days @Prakash Anoop @Haitham Khattab @Imran Kashif @Beide Worku @Jose Thomas @Morshedi @takeshi sobue @Imteeaz @salah2u Sam K - You are WL1. @Amr Aydin - Your are on WL2

something wrong here, why only 3 people registered? must be scared of losing pulleys in the middle of night, these guys... cc @Mus_hus78 🔥
