The light green colour track is the one that was led by me and @Rizwanm2. Dark Green is by @GauravSoni & @Davie Chase. The track we took, was through some interesting virgin dunes where we were perhaps the first people to drive ever. We drove fast reaching up to 60+ km on some of the best sidees ever. I swear to god, I could have driven the whole day in those dunes. Thank you @Rizwanm2 for posting this drive and @GauravSoni jumping in the last moment to split the convoy giving me and @Davie Chase our first “Partial Lead” experience. @Ishak, @Bjoern, @Mahmoud Taha, @Chris Wing & finally @Zed it was great having you on this side of the split it was a wonderful experience exploring all those dunes together with you guys.

Thanks @Felix Obst yes remember this well, it is always nice to go on a journey with other club members and climb through the levels together. It was @M.Seidam And @Ishak a great drive need more of the same Doc

Congratulations @Davie Chase. Well done and well deserved!

@Rizwanm2 thanks for the drive today, was able to get a good adrenaline rush before work tomorrow🤣 @Looper congrats again on making it to lead, great job today and i’ll be looking forward to joining your drives;) @Zed thanks for the videos! Got some good content for my insta🤣 @Bjoern @Mahmoud Taha @Ishak great drive today as usual:)

Hi @Patrick .. really appreciate the feedback and @Carnity is always open to learn and adapt best practices to always keep the drives and experience better every time of everyone in the @Carnity family .. rest assured that # 1 to 100 priorities for all of us are SAFETY & FUN and hitting the right BALANCE is our ultimate North Star . What you see today in the grading structure is a model that matured over several years with 100s of good (and bad) experiences and feedback gathered from all members throughout all drives and then was subjected to thorough analysis debate between marshals and crew to conclude on what fits best to get us to that North Star. For example, sometime back we adopted that Upgrade Drives for some levels, however the experience proved it brings more bad than good accordingly it was dropped. Every decision and specially promotion goes through a rigorous system to ensure skills, safety, comms, attitude, team work, … etc are assessed by different leads and support members (all of whom are volunteers by the way) and we do our best to ensure fairness and no bias. However, like everything in life, it’s impossible to achieve 100% and there is always room for improvement.. more importantly we all appreciate one size will never fit all so as we always say in the briefings we expect everyone to raise their tolerance, & patience and focus more on having fun while enjoying the company, adventure, and nature.

Congratulations @Ben Lee enjoy the new level look forward to driving with you soon

Congratulations @Looper !

Thanks for today was a fantastic drive really enjoyed the pace, and the two different lead styles 😊 everyone drove amazingly considering how soft it was out there pretty much no refusals! super fun and fast 😎😎😎 my favourite was to drive 😜 @GauravSoni thank you for the slightly early exit! The wife was mortified but she was going green 😂 think she’s going in to retirement for the summer! @Davie Chase top man! And absolute pleasure driving with you again! always a gentleman! 😊 @Patrick van der Loo that TJ is a trooper! Sorry if I churned things up for you back there but your girl handles everything superbly! cant wait to get out on the next one! Hopefully it won’t be such an early one 😜

Thanks @Rizwanm2 for organizing such a fantastic drive, the terrain was amazing, and a big thank you to @GauravSonifor joining in and for leading a split convoy, moreover, allowing me to lead part of the way around, it was another great learning experience and super fun. Convoy 2 covered 70 km in a little under 3 hrs, pretty impressive given the terrain and a slight interruption from a Monitor Lizard . Well done @Imteeaz and thank you for the support and great sweeping duties performed flawlessly. Convoy 2 @Krishna R @Felix Obst @Mark B @Patrick van der Loo I hope you guys had as much fun as we did, it was amazing to see the skills on show today, hence why we were able to cover such a great distance with little to no refusals, this was testament to your driving skills so well done all. @Mark B hope the wife is feeling better. I am sure convoy 1 had as much fun as we did. @Ishak @Bjoern @Chris Wing @Mahmoud Taha @Looper @Zed (hope I did not miss anyone off) Stats with new app and video thanks @M.Seidam for sharing had fun playing with this.

Wow...... Tnx for the kind guesture .... @Ahmad Nerat

If you are @Rk ram really want to go for this event, i will give you my spot. Being club member, it's not only chance to drive, but giving chance for others too. You are on top of waiting list, and supposed to be moved automatically. In case it will not happen, @Ale Vallecchi will add you manually. In any case you can go for the drive now. I will remove my rsvp.

Sorry, I see I made it from the waitlist to the drive but now can make it as have to work

Congratulations @Andrei S
