What happened? Looks and sounds very similar to this:

Congrats bro @Tharun Kumar V Well deserved!

Last week we drove for DCT. It was a fascinating area up from Ghafteen Bowl down south in a straight line. Very challenging; doesn’t seem like that in the videos but, very technical but in between tall dunes. It will be a drive I would again in the near future. Towards the end my car engine got busted. 😭 had a crank case oil leak (Edit).

Dear all ( so far) : @Mahmut @J-P L @Alphin Aloor @Anoop Nair @Michael asir @Pramod B @Jeandre Bezuidenhout thank you for showing interest for this drive. Just to re-iterate, and let you know the plan for this drive : Starting the day with a 6 am assembly at the meeting point and then heading towards Pink Rock, aiming to arrive around 7 am. The dedicated break from 7-8 am provides an opportunity to tidy up the area, clearing the mess left behind by irresponsible desert visitors and also we will have some hot coffee at this time. so as much as possible we will clear the mess up and then head towards our aimed exit at Big Red , by or before 10am. Looking forward to seeing you all later this week ! P.S : Coffee/ cookies are on me - As I celebrate my 150th Drive
