Trip Report: Wow, what an amazing week which finally concluded with the end of the drive today. As soon as my drive was posted it was full within seconds, and yet a few complained it is difficult to get on my drive. These were the lucky ones. I feel sorry for the waitlisted members we could not accommodate. Another bright side was there were no no-shows on my drive today and the 14 car convoy seemed perfect for today's drive. It was wonderful to reach the meeting point and see everybody deflated, flagged up and ready for the briefing. We did a quick briefing and radio check before heading put. The first part of the drive was the most troublesome as the convoy was still finding their feet. A refusal here, car slipping down there. Lessons learned, deflation is part of the art of off-roading. Newbie is a great level to get your best figures in terms of performance, so experiment at this level till you find your desirable number. Secondly when riding the ridge make sure you are as high as possible on the ridge. If gravity still loves your car so much that it's not going to let go, head down and climb again when you find a safe spot. We had plenty of time in our beloved play areas, everybody had their fair chance and enjoyed learning how to perfect the throttle and steering to glide through them like swans doing ballet. The chance in terrain also meant that we had the straight long stretch to practice and the wall of death. Playing with gravity is a part of off-roading and a great way to learn more about your car and the terrain at hand. Our next destination was top of Fossil Rock. Some made it on the first attempt, while others needed some time. Either ways a lesson in both patience, togetherness and the fact that all cars big and small can make it if you get all the elements right. As we headed around Fossil Rock on the way to Faya was my personal favorite. I enjoyed getting a few virgin dunes, and playing around as we approached Faya through some medium sized dunes. The momentum we had helped us to glide through this terrain and everybody managed well. Coming to the back side of Faya our challenges mounted up as we tried to mount Faya. So as someone elderly once told me to help others you first need to challenge yourself to the top, this is exactly what I did. I got to the top and watched the action as one by one everyone made it through the most challenging section of the drive. Once everybody crossed the most challenging section reach the top of Faya was easy. I'm glad that all 14 cars were lined up on top of Faya and that to a Newbie drive. @sertac called to congratulate me as he watched our convoy filling the top of Faya. After heading down we spent some time to try and climb Faya from the front side with a lot of success. I has to lend some weight to a couple of cars to help them climb to the top from the front end. I was surprised to see myself almost on top with my Pathy. By far the best my Pathy has felt in a long time. My biggest happy moment came when I saw all the smiles and positive feedback from everyone. I'm so pleased to have @Satish Mungse as my second lead. My choice to have him as my second lead came from our Pink Rock drive last week. He managed that position well and made sure fine corrections were made as and when I requested him to do so. @Natarajan started of finding his higher rev range, but as the drive progressed he adjusted and allowed me to express myself as today's lead. @Hossam Anwar also managed his Pajero well and showed good progress and learning throughout the drive. I had a few concerns which I discussed with him and I'm very pleased to see him taking it positively and surely saw him practice it as the drive progressed. @Rajendran D was comfortable in his Pajero and I can only hope he also learned a few tricks and polished his skills in today's drive. @Hardik Mody was hard at work with his Xterra as it was his first drive with this new vehicle. Eventually it seemed he got more comfortable with his new ride and figured out how it is better than his Mitsubishi Montero Sport. @Jeepie was an excellent center forward and her support meant she was giving me the perfect opportunity to scale the drive higher without any concerns. Her complain however was I did not give her enough opportunities to have her work-out and she would have to go to the gym today. @Lukas Lewis with his Ford Explorer tastfully modified showed my how his Eddie Bauer version is just as effective as any other vehicle. I was never a big fan of this vehicle, but respect to @Lukas Lewis to provide me with enough evidence to rethink my prejudice against this beautiful machine. @pramod in his Land Cruiser with his family was always with a broad smile. His son Dev was amazing company and loved to have some nice conversations with him as well. @kolinrrj to my surprise was a lady. I thought it was Kolin, but she turned out to be Koli. With her big Land Cruiser she found her comfort soon and managed the whole trip well. She was very calm during the drive followed instructions well and I'm sure picked up some useful advise to follow for future drives. @Ahmad Shaker in his FJC seemed like he paid a few Salik as it seemed he was just cruising on a highway. I love the way he handles the car, but definitely needs to polish his skills a bit to look more graceful.@Watteau presented me with my first sight to a single cabin Raptor and I would not be surprised if that monster will conquer Moreeb Hill in Liwa. He looked effortless as he did everything with great control, he understands the concept of off-roading well. Furthermore he loves doing technical dunes, so @Wrangeld no doubt will be his next best friend.@Junaid120120 has a 20/20 vision. This was my second drive with him but we definitely enjoy each others company. He loves the tracks I choose and I love the way he handles his FJC at this level. Finally @Mario Cornejo was an amazing addition in the sweep position. He and his son Danny are my best friends and I once again disappointed Danny as my drive was really boring not giving him the chance to use his shovel. We also had a nice ride all the way to the top of Faya in the trusted Nissan Patrol Y61 SWB, beautiful machine, simple and powerful. Without him in the sweep position I would not be able to do all that we managed today. His sweep duties are also highly appreciated. For those who have completed 6 drives at this newbie level, please go ahead and apply for your promotion to Fewbie level through the link provided in the Club structure. Wishing you a happy rest of the weekend and an amazing week ahead.

It was fabulous time we had today. We had chance to enjoy our fresh lead Luca`s leading. I supposed to hand him the lead around half hour to 1 hour but we ended up enjoying his lead over 2.5 hours. That happened because of his way to find nice, clear dunes in such crowded area. He took our fewbies and made them fewbie+ today. We climbed many high dunes, we made criss crossing, we made side slopes all fewbies are made me shocked, how they handled every thing that Luca throwed on them. Basically we started near to Big red. I took the team from entry point to big red. We had some joy behind the Big Red than we came to front and climbed up. From Big Red i handed the lead to @Luca Palanca Falsini. From there he took us some nice dunes and we reached to the Pink Rock. At Pink Rock also we had chance to climb up. Man such a climbing day, the way that i love off roading. From Pink Rock we reached to the 2nd December. Since it was early enough We decided to move on to our beloved Faya. Again with such clean and virgin dunes Luca took us near to the Faya. Than i took over the convoy and make it to the Faya. Since climbing face was crowded. We decide to go to the back side and spent some time there and come back again. In this time we were lucky to see @Rahimdad`s beautiful Pathfinder up there at the top. Luca and i said he should be doing at least fewbie level. Once we talked to him we surprised that he managed to take newbies up there. Great job Rahim bhai and great job his convoy. After spending some time behind the Faya we approached to the front face and tried our cars power. Did i mentioned it was a climbing day After the Faya we exited safely. It was such a flawless day if i am not mistaken we never needed our ropes. We had few refusals but it wasn`t anything that some instruction and some shoveling can`t sort it. Big thanks to @Luca Palanca Falsini another big thanks to @Mehmet Volga and thanks a lot @Thomas Varghese to keep us informed about the back side of the convoy. And the biggest thanks to all our drivers. Many times i said they might struggle here you all did amazing. If any of you wondered today we covered 42.7km.

Superb run today, @Emmanuel! A fully array of experiences today - speed, technical, inclines, distance. Great squad to be out with today. Here is some footage if you’re interested. Craig

Thank you @sertac, @Luca Palanca Falsini, @Mehmet Volga and @Thomas Varghese for a wonderful drive today. @sertac and @Luca Palanca Falsini combination lead was awesome as we got to enjoy 2 extraordinary drive style in one drive today 👍👏👏 Everyone did exceptionally well today, Thank you for the enthusiasm throughout the drive. See you in the sand again!

Today’s drive was one of the best drives I have had with Carnity so far. After 2 drives in Abu Dhabi which were so cool in their own right, I was surprised to see today’s relatively big dunes in Dubai (I have never been to this specific area before). I was so thrilled by the prolonged and very intense periods of driving in mixed terrain at sustained high speed. The feeling of absolute concentration needed is very addictive. From the discussion after the drive I understand everyone felt the same, all concentrating on their own performance and the car ahead. It was helpful that we were few cars (5) in the convoy, but still cool to move together so fast. We didn’t have any significant stucks or refusals. Another sign of the good tempo we had, was that we finished way earlier than planned (which I have never experienced before). Thanks @Emmanuel and the rest of the team for this great drive! Please, please, pretty please, more drives like this🙏🙏😀😀. P.S. During today’s drive I realized I will “need” to maybe modify the suspension on my FJ, felt like a bit harder shocks would have been better😬. Sorry @Gaurav, but not everybody can afford a car with adjustable suspension😂😜

Beautiful day and fantastic drive. Kudos to the whole convoy for a fun day and support through. @sertac awesome trip, many thanks for such a beautiful day. @Luca Palanca Falsini fantastic route and looking forward to riding in your leadership in the near future. @Mehmet Volga thanks for keeping the convoy strong and well supported at the back. @Thomas Varghese thanks for keeping a check on all of us and ensuring no ones left behind. once again thanks to everyone in the convoy for support and guidance.

@Carnity everybody helps a driver in distress.

@sertac & @Luca Palanca Falsini plotting the drive so that drivers will not be bored for a second

Absolutly amazing drive today thank you so much to all!

Hi Chaitanya, pls be so kind as to offer my drive spot to a wait listed member. I messed up and did the Lasalli drive this morning with Lorenzo and Richard, I didn't double check the dates. So sorry for any inconvenience, but I am sure that somebody will take the slot. My Paj can't manage two back to back drives I think. Needs a little tarmac time. Look forward to next time, Andy

The drive starts and excited friends ready to explore the unknown - @N@ved

Leisure time

@Foxtrot Oscar what a drive you have organized and led. Pure exhilaration in 4 hours. The initial part of the drive was reminding me of of my teenage days where we used to race on dust tracks into the forest. I could only see the flags fluttering ahead of me and I think I did a pretty good job at following the flags swaying wildly ahead of me. I was wondering if this is how a fewbie plus drive is. Very soon you took us into the serious off roading. My 1st fewbie plus drive. OMG it was exciting. I have 1 serious grievance about this drive. I didn't get much time to take out my camera and start shooting pictures as nobody was getting stuck or the convoy could stop for sometime so that I can start to shoot. Everybody performed well. Good thing my wife gave me resignation from future desert drive. I know if she was there she would have fainted. Even my car started to cry please slow down or stop for sometime .My poor Xterra trying to cope up with all the new cars. I hope you all liked him. For all the drivers who participated - everyone performed well. Look forward to drive with like minded and skilled drivers and cars in the future. I'm too tired after the fun. Good Night

Hahahah the pace was really fast or was it a higher playback speed 😂

Did Nissan hear us ?!😄

I would like to thank you, guys @Brette, @Nathan Evans , @Ashy, @Anand Nataraj for the well organized and very efficiently controlled morning drive in South Qudra. My feeling that we spent the majority of time driving, challenging different dunes. Very helpful advices and demonstration on self recovery. Very useful. Some shoveling and recovery add nice flavor to this trip. Great job, great drive with great people! Thanks indeed. Love to drive with Team Carnity!

The route

One for all and all for one. No one is stranded when the @Carnity team will not give up on a difficult situation.

Drive Report - Yahar FewBie at Sweihan Thank you for joining this drive at Sweihan. We were all on time which was great to see , considering the extra distance and the COVID clearance needed for joining in Abu Dhabi. But boy, once you hit the dunes in Abu Dhabi you forget all these minor hurdles to come there! We began to explore from South of Sweihan close to Al Saad. Thank you @Srikumar and @Asif Hussain especially for guiding me on the entry points , sharing some tracks and their previous experiences which was very important for me to plan this drive. We explored west ward and entered some impossible bowls and played to head towards Al Ain Airport. We encountered some massive bowls , huge dunes and some very nice play areas enroute which every one enjoyed. Considering it was a short convoy with very good drivers , we had little issues and refusals. We explored this area to head towards the massive dune on the other side of dirt track north. Did some climbs and tall sides , perfectly executed by every one. @Islam Soliman was perfect as usual in everything. Handling a massive car in these terrains is not easy and you did extremely well. @varunmehndiratta was reluctant to join initially , but was great to see you there. Now you probably agree that you made the right decision to join. Dunes in Abu Dhabi are a different league all together. You drove really well managing a car that is made for off roading. @Gaurav Soni was thrilled too to ride in these areas. Very good control of the LWB Pajeros and indeed it was great to see you manage some tall sides aplomb with great control. Well done @Kailas was my sweep and enjoyed the drive as much as everyone did. Great to see how you drive on any terrain , even being at back of be it in any position. Stats from the drive- We drove close to 56 Km in about 4.5 hours. See you all again soon , exploring more dunes in Abu Dhabi

Thank you for yet another great morning in the desert. The flow of the drive was almost uninterrupted, thanks to the support of @Rahimdad and @Jeepie, and this allowed us all to enjoy more time in the play areas, which more than play is an opportunity for all of us to fine tune skills. The route had amazing views and I regret so much I forgot my camera at home. My copilot, Danny, enjoyed the play areas, unfortunately he was feeling a bit shy today and did not want to step out of the car. As @Rahimdad said, Danny is keen to find an opportunity to use his shovel to help get dad unstuck from the sand, but as the saying goes: "be careful what you wish for!" As I don't have pictures this time, I thought I would share a few stats: we drove 29Km over a period of 4hrs 38min, our maximum elevation was 728m. @Rahimdad thank you for giving me the opportunity to be the sweep in today's drive and to contribute, even on a small scale, to a safe and enjoyable drive. Thank you everyone else in the convoy, it was a pleasure to drive with all of you. Bye for now and hope to see you soon in upcoming drives.

Dear Friends Matt.T @Matt.T Mohamed Seidam @Mohamed Seidam Ben84 @Ben84 Badar Tariq @Badar Tariq William Fernandes @William Fernandes Yahya Munir @Yahya Munir Karim Allam @Karim Allam Trekado @Trekado bassel el rafei @bassel el rafei Jasim Khumi @Jasim Khumi GD27 @GD27 Ganesan Kathirvel @Ganesan Kathirvel Anish S @Anish S Kailas @Kailas Please note convoy numbering for tomorrow Please note Bring your shovel, Programmed radio, Deflator , Compressor and Off road flag - Not having any one if these will mean you will not be allowed to drive. I don't carry spare radios with me . Please follow covid precautions strictly - Mask when you come out of your car if asked for, and 3 m distancing. Please park your cars far from each other while deflating at the meeting point. Myself, Mohamed Seidam , Kailas and Ansih will manage recoveries if any. Please remain seated in your cars unless called for. Would be good to see you all with confirmed drive tomorrow, it would definitely be a let down if someone misses when we have so many waiting to join in. We will use Chanel 1 for Radio Coms See you all tomorrow morning, cheers

We never exceeded 20km/h I swear

Thanks @Chaitanya D for the beautiful ride today.... The setting, convoy size, weather, team spirit all added to an awesome experience. The sheer size of dunes and bowls, the beautiful color of sand provided the weekend adrenaline rush. . Thanks to @Kailas @Islam Soliman and @Gaurav Soni, couldn't have asked for a better team while exploring the intermediating dunes of Sweihan. Sorry guys you had to cut on temptations Sweihan offered due to me. I promise, let me have a few more drives and we will get back there again and we will conquer those all soon togather... Special thanks to @Brette for motivating me to join this drive ..🙂 Cheers and looking forward for the next drive with you all. Missed to add that "Jeep rocks"...😄

It was a great drive for me. Learnt a lot, but also realized need to learn a lot more. In these Intermediate drives all the chinks in my driving get exposed and helps practice on them. It seemed to me that I don’t have a good control over my steering. Sometimes I oversteer, and loose control over the car. I am not experienced enough to blame the car so it is perhaps me. That was the reason I slipped out of the crests a few times. And had double pop out. Thanks to @Gaurav, @Shaaz Sha, @DANIEL NOGUEIRA and @Mukundan Nair for the help in recovering. After the drive my compressor gave up and died on the last tire, it did not even fill them fully. I had to pressure up again at the fuel pump. It had been making noises and I had already planned for a compressor upgrade tomorrow. On my way back I had wobble in my steering. And after unsuccessfuly trying to catch up to the afternoon drive with @Foxtrot Oscar, which I narrowly missed. I took the car to a fuel station tyre shop to clean the tyre. I asked them to redo the wheel alignment as well for both the tyres and they are fine now. Thank you again all for this wonderful drive. I wish for a speedy recovery for @Srikumar get well soon.

Same engine should be in the new Xterra

Hi guys..Thank you all for a memorable drive once again. It was supposed to be my first drive with @Srikumar and reached the meeting point early today for the first time 😁. After a while @Abu Muhammad joined and then to the surprise of all found a familiar SWB pajero coming in to the meeting point . Then I realized that it's the legend himself is inlead role today. Thanks @Gaurav for a supercharged drive. I believe everyone had a wonderful day offroading. It was my second intermediate drive with @Gaurav and got some chances to be active with shovel and jack, which was very much informative. We literally had a theory and practical to deal with pop outs from our marshal. The drive had very few refusals and stucks, and I think most of the time it was the Red X that got stuck ☺️, but managed some how to come out without a tug. 😃😃. Thank you @Gaurav, @Francois Germishuys and @Mukundan Nair for guiding me through all the self recoveries and helping me out in shoveling the last stuck. It was nice to see @Francois Germishuys and @Ilya Golubinsky maneuvering to the top many times at the Iftar bowl and star bowl. The convoy was very familiar and had driven with everyone before. Thank you guys once again and hope to join you guys soon. Take care and keep cool

Thanks for the great drive this morning to @Vanessa8580, @Veedooshee and @Nabil Bishara showing us the basics. Hope to see everybody again next week.

DRIVE REPORT Another lovely drive with our new Carnity family members ! It was great to see few enthusiasts slowly rolling in around 6:40, eager to hit the sand and enjoy the learning experience we have to offer. After deflating we started with the briefing, where we emphasized on momentum, radio acknowledgement, and not to fight gravity while offroading. In a theoretical approach all this sounds nice, but we wanted to go and head out in the dunes this lovely area has to offer. The first half hour some drivers had to adjust a little bit to the behavior of the sand, and the need to keep momentum and to stop the car only at a flat level surface or declining slope. While most of the cars are used to driving at 2000rpm and not often more, most members quickly realized that in the desert the throttle and momentum is key to make it from one dune to another. We practiced some gentle side-sloping, cresting (which took some shoveling), and self recovery. I was really amazed to see all of you picking up the pace quickly and getting accustomed to driving in the dunes. We kept a good pace at all times and the stucks or refusals were minor and easily dealt with. The GLS500 (of which is the first in our club) did well, and except for the overheating issue the car was a sight to see and @Amit SRP handled the car very well. I had @Nagham Albeitawi as my second lead, as she had prior experience and drove perfectly, keeping enough distance and slightly correcting my path where needed. Well done !! @Vishal S brought his nice red Cherokee, and drove it very controlled, followed by @Shafeek Kiblawi, MD who drove the white Grand Cherokee in pursuit effortlessly. We had more Jeeps in the convoy, like @pqpqpq his nice black SWB Wrangler, but we also had a beautiful Hummer H3 belonging to @Joe Biju Joseph but driven by @Ashwin0223 who all managed it perfectly ! Toyota was well represented too, with 2 Prados: @khurram.k with wife and son who had smiles throughout the drive, and @Antony Calvin who drove the Prado with excellent control, but also two beautiful big Landcruisers with @Osama Al Hamwi and @Tejas Patel both managing the big beasts very well. I was blessed with the amazing support from @Shamil and @marks who patiently helped out everyone, dealt with recoveries, and kept a smile and friendly approach throughout the drive. I am proud to see our Advance level members stepping up in this role as they are on their way to become future marshals soon. Thanks so much ! Moving forward you all will be joining the Newbie drives and not an Absolute Newbie drive. Drives are announced every Sunday at 11 am, and they go live on Sunday at 7:10 pm. Due to the high demand, these drives get full in about 10 minutes, so please be online at 7 pm to book your spot. If you miss a spot, put your name on the waitlist asap. Generally, by Thursday with dropouts everyone does get a spot if they have waitlisted. For the next drives, please bring along a deflator, pressure gauge, flag and radio as a minimum. Learn to deflate your tires and checking them precisely Learn to fix a flag on your car Learn to program and fully charge your radio Also like I mentioned during the debriefing, join the Carnity Whatsapp Drive Notification to get the latest updates on the drives, so that you can RSVP on time for the next weekend's drive. Please have a look at below topic which describes the tools needed for every level. There is a separate tutorial inside which explains which radio we recommend and how to program them: (Please do not buy the Baofeng 888S spare radio we gave you, as these cannot be programmed without a special cable and software). Please have a look at below grading structure that explains various off-road levels: PICS CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/528-ab-newbie-qudra-dubai-05-feb-2021 See you guys soon in the sand again !

Please add me to the waitlist for tomorrows drive

Thank you Vanessa, and all great people at drive. It was fun n learning basics, more we stuck more we grow 😜. See you guys again.

Yes, I got drive today, would like to have another,only if others get opportunity. Drive safe all folks.

Looks nice. 3.8L v6 with 310 HP but it looks like it’s a quite long wheel base. Couldn’t find the ground clearance and weight infos.

Unfortunately there have been no drop outs during the week so no luck for the waitlisted members on tis drive. Time to close up the drive and share the convoy numbering and the radio channel we will be using tomorrow. DRIVE RSVP IS NOW CLOSED Convoy numbering: Rahimdad - Pathfinder Satish Mungse - Pajero (SL) did well with me last drive in PR Natarajan - Pajero Hossam Anwar - Pajero Rajendran D - Pajero Hardik Mody - Xterra / Montero Jeepie - Jeep Wrangler TJ (CF) Lukas Lewis - Ford Explorer Pramod - Land Cruiser Kolinrrj - Land Cruiser Ahmad Shaker - FJC Watteau - Raptor Junaid120120 - FJC Mario Conejo - Patrol Y61 SWB (Sweep) @Satish Mungse @Natarajan @Hossam Anwar @Rajendran D @Hardik Mody @Jeepie @Lukas Lewis @pramod @kolinrrj @Ahmad Shaker @Watteau @Junaid120120 @Mario Cornejo Please find your names and convoy numbering above. When you arrive tomorrow morning, you can start deflating your tires to 15psi if you have normal/highway tires, and 12psi in case you have off-road tires. Please arrive on time 7:00 AM, earlier is even better so we can help you out with deflation if needed. We will be using Carnity Channel 1: 446.00625 Mhz. Seniors on the drive are myself, @Satish Mungse in second lead, @Jeepie as center forward and @Mario Cornejo who will be sweeping the convoy and we will all help you out in case of refusals, stucks, which is all part of the game (and fun) After deflating we will do a briefing to emphasize on the aspects of off-roading and the teamwork involved when becoming part of our off-road community. Since the number of cases has gone alarmingly high, I would recommend only drivers to be out for the briefing with social distancing rules. In case of emergencies, you can contact me on 050 674 9099 See you tomorrow !

I don’t know how to express my gratitude to @sertac for giving me the opportunity to lead on such a wonderful drive! I was blessed with all of the joiners. You were amazing! In the beginning I was thinking about pushing a bit to set up the right level... But all of you were responding so well that, in the end, when I needed to cross some Sabkha to point Faya I felt worried about boring you! Hard to classify the convoy today’s performance into Fewbie boundaries, we pushed almost always the level to Fewbies+ and little up even. Many thanks to @Mehmet Volga our impeccable CF and @Thomas Varghese our sweep! @Mehmet Volga was impeccable from the beginning of his CF role, always comfortable with any situation and almost impossible to reach a refusal before him! @Thomas Varghese after a little 'warm up' on his new role was doing his job very well! Thank you again to everyone. All of you made my first lead a unique experience, can’t wait to see you all on the sand again!

Off to the playground. Fun at will

In everyones hearts 🤣😜

@Chaitanya D I look forward to the drive tomorrow, May I ask what radio frequency we will be using tomorrow, apologies if it was stated and I missed it. Thanks

Wow thanks @Craig Finlayson! That was fast!

Yeah great educational and fun drive. Thank you @Gaurav and everyone. see you 🔜 on sand.

Thank you @Rahimdad

Beautiful intro to the new generations above by Nissan , high tech , 9 speed automatic transmission gear , rugged oriented shape , safety features ... etc however for me and as Emmanuel mentioned earlier important points as an off-roader to keep in mind in any vehicle operating in offroad conditions especially sand : P/W ground clearance price , worthy ? LWB vs SWB ( relative ) All these things are to be kept in mind in my opinion

We are pumping, will be 10 min late based on the google maps. Is it still ok to join? If not - it will be of course well accepted

I and @Ilya Golubinsky are at the morning intermediate drive. Hopefully we will make it directly from here. 🤞

I meant you have a confirmed drive at Pink Rock

This article reminds me of my sports, I skateboard on bowls, and the speed will determine how far and how high I can go, same on surfing, I can only ride the wave and do turns depending on my speed, or I will sink... it's all in the centrifugal force to keep the gravity in your favor...

Dear friends Matt.T @Matt.T Mohamed Seidam @Mohamed Seidam Ben84 @Ben84 Badar Tariq @Badar Tariq rajeshkumar rathod @rajeshkumar rathod William Fernandes @William Fernandes andy_macdxb @andy_macdxb Yahya Munir @Yahya Munir Karim Allam @Karim Allam Trekado @Trekado Sandeep Subhash @Sandeep Subhash bassel el rafei @bassel el rafei Chaitanya D Anish S @Anish S Kailas @Kailas Thank you for signing up on this drive. We will be doing this drive in Lisaili which is quite a technical area with many small baby dunes which will sink you in. As you drive your skill levels and technique will be tested giving ample opportunities. We will try to learn and improvise on the right techniques for managing these small baby dunes which generally sink the best of drivers and break many a bumpers 🤣. Be prepared for your cars to stretch, bump, flex and stretch again just like when you do Yoga. Be prepared for yourself to get out when called for and shovel out of situations. Do not forget to put your masks and maintain distance. You will have some sand sprayed onto yourself and into your cars , dig yourselves into sand while shoveling. So come with proper clothing and footwear for the same reason. We will try to cover as much distance as we can, but we might not due to the conditions calling otherwise. See you all on Saturday, please come on time and be ready to burn some calories along with the petrol🤣

Please let me know if this is your first or second drive for the week? @Pacific @GD27 As you all know, first preference will go to waitlised members who don't have any drive, and hence we request you to mention so that all have a fair chance to get on drives Waitlist 1.
