Good morning all ! @Gary F@Cristian@Deepak Eswar@FERNANDO SYRIO@Mohit Gurnani@Juan R@Rk ram@Zulfikhar Naiyar@Cha I've just closed the convoy. Please find your convoy positions posted here above. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081 Mhz. Due to the unstable weather conditions, we might have to lower the drive level a bit, as wet sand can be very deceiving and dangerous. So let's take it easy and slowly build up the pace until we are comfortable with the terrain. See you all at 6.30AM !

We welcome all Champions to enroll for the much-awaited Desert Champions Trophy. Here are a few things each Champion needs to know, practice and remember for the day of the event. Your phone or GPS device should have a dedicated power source to last for 6+ hours. Your phone or GPS device should withstand heat or direct sunlight. Your phone or GPS device should have offline maps. Your phone or GPS device should be updated. Your phone or GPS device should have all waypoints, and restricted areas. Your phone or GPS device should be able to record track without internet or GSM coverage (for DU sim holders). Your phone or GPS device should be able to export the track to a GPX file. Your phone or GPS device should be able to share that GPX file with us. Please test all the above, during your test run or daily driving, to eliminate any/all bottlenecks or points of failure. Please remember each member's GPS track has to be submitted for fair evaluation, which means 1 lead + 4 participants = 5 GPS tracks per team is needed at the end of the event. We require a full GPS track from start to finish line without any pauses or breaks. Any missing or broken GPS track will have the whole team disqualified.

Calling all Carnity's Prog-Rock Lovers and Pink Floyd Fans ! Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side Of The Moon", was released in 1973, and has now sold more than 45 million copies. The album is a unique sonic experience and what better place to experience it than in a desert together with other music lovers ! The Dark Side of the Moon - Wikipedia We will be playing the full album (42min) and projecting visuals on a screen, on a late evening in the Dubai desert. Where and When: 4 Nov 2023 in Murquab, Dubai from 7.30PM to around 10PM 1. Meetup at 7.30PM at the following location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uopjiWe7XBGGEaWG6 2. Deflate and drive to the desert where we will set up the audio and video. 3. Bring out the chairs, blankets, and listen to the full album together cinema style (no late arrivals, driving around, bright lights,or other distractions. (phones switched off). This album deserves your full attention. Dancing is allowed if you feel like it drinks and snacks as well of course! 4. Camping afterwards is possible if anyone likes it. Free of choice. If this formula proves successful, we will be organizing regular winter sonic experiences. Stay tuned ! PS This is not an offroad- drive.

Looks like we are going to be a single convoy now. I once again thank you @Hisham Masaad to offer to take a portion of convoy if necessary.

@Rob S Yes we will go to Shuwaib. We will start at Badayer

Ahh i tried to search for that but couldn’t seems offroad driving isn't the only thing im learning 😉

@DP1011 you could always join the skeletor jeep style! 😂 all you need is an aerial, skeleton, pliers, and metal wire!

@Rizwanm2 confirmed. Application installed..

Confirmed and app installed

You're a star!

No worries, you are welcome to join my drive tomorrow

Sorry @Looper had to withdraw this morning, I think I have cracked my exhaust header 🥴. Thank you @Hisham Masaadfor stepping in.

got my gps and maps ready.

Sorry guys, I will sign off ,got work

One more drive video, one more experiment. In this video I have mimicked Jump Cuts with a single clip by cutting the video and changing the angle and FOV. It now looks like as if I had many different takes of the action from diffent angles. Earlier I used to export diffent angles and use either multicam which was slightly more efficient to cut but resource hungry than layering one over above another to do the effect. Now using a 360 video in Final Cut I can do the same with so much less time and processing resources. Post video export I observed that FCPX likes 90 degrees but Insta360 doesn’t. Enjoy some music while you watch the video.

@Looper and @Hisham Masaad Gents, I am forced to withdraw myself from this drive:( I have a cold and i am not getting better enough fast.. Have a great fun.

haha, thanks for having me 😂

Thank you, will be more than happy, hope I don't get work. On that day

I’ll take “Comfortably Numb” over “Another brick in the wall” any day 😜. Especially the love Pulse version or Pompei 2016 version.

This idea is so cool @Frederic! My fav Pink Floyd song is either another brick in the wall, breath or maybe comfortably Numb! I can’t really decide tbh. this similar idea implied with listening to some 50s-90s playlists alongside camping and driving would be awesome I’ll see what I can do. To join up in November if I can

Hi @Looper, I really appreciate for adding me to this drive. I just wanna apologize for this drive as my car is in the mechanic and I don't think so it will be finish before sunday. So please drop me and give the chance to another member to have fun 😊😊. See you next time and have fun.

Love the idea @Frederic would love to attend but got another concert in Dubai

Awesome thanks will b there.

Hi @Vanessa8580...pls add me to manage/support the drive , thanx 😊

MUST READ: @Looper @Bravoecho, @Stumpy Paj, @Bashar Beasha and @Mahmoud Taha

Great idea @Frederic! If for nothing else, would have joined another Pink Floyd fan. Alas, am travelling next week. P.S. being a die-hard fan and over the years have realized that one can do many things while listening but certainly can't dance

Or movie nights, with After Party Drives. Sure to be a hit with people who want to camp and drive. Please count me in for the music festival followed by a drive 🚙🚙🚙🚙 !!!

@Soufiane Looking forward to seeing you again my friend👻👻👻👻👻👻🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️ be ready to find the ghosts 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hello @Looper Thank you for adding me to the drive, However, I have to bail out as my DCT practice drive would be happening around the same time. We just came to know about it last night. Cheers!

My pleasure buddy, and yes the Arabic translation came in very handy. You are now eligible to join any Newbie drive. Once you completed 5 of them, you can request your promotion to Fewbie with below link: Request Promotion

@Bashar Beasha, @Jaro Tuzinsky, @Patrick van der Loo, @Jona, @Amir Amiri, @Stumpy Paj, @Krishna R, @Mohamad Anwer, @Bjoern, @Salim Akhtar, @Tareq Al Turq @Pacific, @Ranjan Das, @Rajiv Sam , @Senthil Kumar, @Rob S, @Hisham Masaad graciously agreed to take half the convoy and so we have extended RSVP to include all. We will be 9 a convoy so we have some more space. Having said that please make sure that you have cleared up your schedule and are ready to join if not then please sign off by Friday afternoon. Nothing is more irritating than a no-show since a lot of planning goes into the convoy and route planning.

Hi @Frederic, thanks a lot for this amazing experience. Of course this will be continued. Now I'd need your advices to know which type of drive should be next ? Thanks again ! and anytime for arabic translations 😛

Mine went the other way. Frustrated over no lift in my Jeep and getting stuck on ridge all the time, I would exit and loop back climb on, did it so many times I said I should be called Looper. After an 💡 moment, I updated my user name on Carnity. When I created my Instagram id for off-roading escapades I called it Looper and later and when I ordered a domain I called it Looper.ae to go with it. When YouTube introduced creator tags rebadged Instagram id once again to go with YouTube to: looper_ae

Insta ID : DP1011 Now many ppl will know why my username is DP1011 ( @Frederic fyi😂)

Hi @Ale Vallecchi sorry, but could you please drop me out of this drive? I have been accepted by Vanessa on the one tomorrow morning. Cheers.

Sorry guys I will sign off, got work to do.

@Frederic , I apologize but I need to remove myself from the drive as a family issue has come up. Hope to join you on the next one
