Thanks @Gaurav for such a wonderful NB drive. It was great fun to see those roller coaster, soft technical patches at times and the famous pink rock capture🙌🏼! @Brette Less said better abt how best positioned you were at No.2😁. Great to see some usual faces @Faraz94 @Theo09 @essam ibrahim and @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke! And also quiet a few first time faces for me @Shiboo Kr @DTG @Arun Menon @Thomas Collins Jayakumar@Ben Williams ! - You all did great today, with minor refusals and the last 2 good learning experiences too:) the more shovel is used in NB-FB drives, the more it helps us to learn:) Thanks all those who helped with their shovels keeping up the team sport spirit:) Thanks @Benjamin for being CF and in a calm active manner with your clear communications on refusals👍🏻 See you all soon in sands!

@Alexanderrr, @Mark B, @Joseph Raju it is going to be a short convoy so an exiting drive. The meeting point is: https://goo.gl/maps/6cmG8WSxsjWaafh76 See you all in the morning.

Thank you everyone for joining this drive. From the convoy itself one could tell that it was a formidable line up with all excellent off-road cars. Within the first hour we were able to cover over 60% of the planned track and I was looking to extend the time somehow because we were almost at the end by 7:30 itself. Few refusals here and there and a couple of loops around the track made up of the fast pace and we completed the drive on time at 9 am. @Mohit Gurnani you did an excellent job at second lead today, keeping distance. I hope you had a good practice using that magical A Trac of yours. @Saverio Arena this was your first fewbie drive but you drove very well without any refusals. @Rk ram you drove quite well, with more practice hesitation if any will go away and gradually you will learn where the push the car and where not to do it. Keeping an eye on the front car how it did will guide you towards it. @Deepak Eswar you were flawless on this drive, of course the SWB Jeep Wrangler JL would have made everything easy as well. @Rob S it was great to see you once again, and thanks for anchoring the drive in the middle and being part of every refusal. @Cristian we drive again and hope you had enjoyed the drive. As usual you were excellent. @Juan R the second white wrangler in the convoy, you have driven more than half of your FB drives with me but this time it was different that it was not a surprise lead from me for you 😝. @Arda Yagcioglu welcome back after the break, and I hope all the off-road driving rust has been removed with this one. @Bjoern good to have you at the back and what can I say, you have always been excellent with that car of yours. @Ranjan Das Thanks taking up the responsibilities of the sweep and doing much of the tugging we had to do today. See you all in next instalment of Looper's loops.

Good evening gents! Great to see some new and old faces for tomorrow morning's drive! Strong anchor in the front with @Gaurav and @Brette leading the way! SURE that the fellow Toyota's in the convoy will tear up the track! @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke Great to see you and @DP1011 behind me to hold the back, a bit ironic that you both were infront of me last week @essam ibrahim Please let that twin turbo roar up pink rock tomorrow morning, Toyota all the way!!!

Welcome to the Off-Road Hall of Fame, a place where we celebrate the fearless, daring, and ingenious legends of the off-road world. This is the home of the trendsetters who have pushed the limits of off-road driving, supporting, and inspiring all types of adventurers. Off-road driving is not just a hobby, it's a way of life. It requires a rare combination of skill, bravery, and respect for the great outdoors. From conquering the tallest dune to racing through the sands, and wadis to traversing long distances, off-roading comes in various forms that demand unique skills, patience and above all - great teamwork. Only a few have gone above and beyond, leaving their mark on the off-road universe, and inspiring others to follow in their footsteps. These heroes have not just driven off-road but have really defined the true meaning of off-road community while taking the sport to new heights. Whether you are an experienced off-roader or just starting, we invite you to join us as we explore the stories and legacies of the off-road greats who have earned their rightful place in the Off-Road Hall of Fame. This is a place where we take pride in their achievements and honor their spirit of adventure. So, fasten your seatbelts, hold tight, and let's embark on a journey of exhilaration, inspiration, and honor in the Off-Road Hall of Fame. Period: April - June 2023 Drives in the spotlight Leading and successfully executing a high-level offroad drive is always a challenge. Finding that delicate balance of pushing our best off-roaders to the limit while still keeping things safe is very difficult and mentally tiring. When @Asif Hussainposted this drive, the expectations were high, knowing that the terrain had fantastic bowls and that the thrill seekers would be present. Asif laid out a buffet of monster bowls and kept the blistering pace throughout the drive, and the feedback after the drive was uniform: "It was unforgettable"... Keep up these fantastic drives @Asif Hussain !! Member in the spotlight Most of you have driven in Abu Dhabi, and if you did, chances were extremely high to come across @Zed who is always around and carries the biggest smile and positive attitude. You'll spot him either in his fully restored black LC100 or his Grand Cherokee 5.7 roaring monster. Always ready to help out and extremely knowledgeable about offroad vehicles, coding, and food (so we've heard )... Keep infecting us with that positive attitude @Zed !! Lead Champion Big congratulations to @M.Seidam for being our lead champion this quarter with a massive 10 drives ! Your dedication shines bright and your passion for off-roading is unmatched !

Let's all do our part in keeping the deserts clean ! Message to all our champions: Your dedication is an admirable quality that is truly valued and appreciated. Your unwavering passion for off-roading has not gone unnoticed, and it is an inspiration to those around you today. We thank you and look forward to seeing the many great things you will achieve in the future.

@Benjaminmy biggest pleasure is to sit back and relax on the sideline and watch things happen in the club. There’s so much potential in all of you guys and we just brushed the surface of what’s possible.
