Incredible drive as usual thank you @_luke_ for picking fun lines. @Krinesh great second lead and smoothly adjusting lines were needed. @Chema well done you drove spot on and it was great seeing the 212 flowing through the dunes. Great Sunday morning guys thank you for the great company …….
cheers Seb
Thank you @Frederic and the support team for today’s fun drive, I enjoyed it very much. Agreed that the convoy today was moving very smoothly which made it even better.
Thank you for the promotion tip, I just submitted the application and also uploaded some photos from today’s drive.
We got off to an early start with everyone there, ready and good to go before the official start time — thank you.
Within about five minutes, I had already managed to plant the nose of the car into a bush and needed @Sebastian Nohse on the winch to get moving again.
From there, we found some excellent terrain with plenty of long sidies and ridge lines. I then got stuck again, this time needing a proper team effort with @Chema @Krinesh and Sebastian digging to get the car free.
We then picked up the pace and took the faster route toward the technical zone. One more stuck followed which probably could have been solved with a bit more shovelling, but with the heat and wind building, Sebastian made short work of it with another quick winch pull.
Once we reached the technical section, the whole drive changed character. The faster flowing lines gave way to slow, precise and controlled movements, with everyone adapting well to the more demanding terrain.
As we entered the final big bowl, my passengers decided they had experienced quite enough dune bashing for one morning and introduced a little car sickness into the mix. After a quick cleanup, we called it and headed for the exit.
We made it out right on time at 09:30.
Thanks everyone for a fun morning, solid teamwork and some really good driving.
Thank you all for joining this morning!
This was not a typical newbie level drive. We started from the farms and after climbing Pink Rock, we made our way to Little Red, which we climbed with ease. To top it off as the Yellow Jeep was waiting for us at the starting point, we decided to loop back and exit back from where we started.
With hardly any refusals and zero stucks this was not a typical Newbie level drive. The fact we had so many Carnity seniors with us made it even more fun.
@Maneesh M your spaceship was in your full command today. So well driven! I agree with your statement that however capable the Denza is, it's a big investment to take into the dunes every weekend. This is the main reason many of us have a separate off-road vehicle which can take a bit of a beating and is cheap(er) to fix.
@Khalid Sharaf and @jamil abdollah if you have have previous or other club offroading experience (which seemed to be the case today), we can offer a quicker promotion to Fewbie level. You can click on below button and request it but in that case please do mention number of drives done / offroad rank from your other clubs or groups where you have driven so far.

Ok guys, the stats are in…
It was super enjoyable going out with you all this morning - you are all experienced drivers with the best Carnity values on show. We moved as a team at pace, made the lines work and stepped in quickly when help was needed. Very grateful to you all coming out and having fun!
I cut together a brief of our drive too - including our one and only stuck courtesy of yours truly.
