Hi, @Giri_4x4 drives are generally spread between Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah randomly (without any fixed order) as these drives are posted voluntarily by the leads based on their choices of level and areas of interest. Having said that, I do understand sometimes it feels no drive in Dubai (like this week) and few weeks it becomes a majority of drives are in Dubai. All weekend drives are generally posted on Monday at 7 PM, so if there is no Dubai Drive drive posted today, I'm afraid you have to wait for next weekend unless you like to join the Abu Dhabi drive, which is equally exciting.

The moment I removed my safety vest and started dancing to celebrate, we got a call on the radio for a breakdown car. Moral of the story: Dont dance too early.

A MASSIVE thanks to our incredible volunteers for bringing this year’s Desert Champions Trophy to life! Our deepest gratitude goes to @Srikumar, @Frederic and @Ale Vallecchi for their relentless commitment, tireless planning, and seasoned expertise. Each of them has poured countless hours into designing a safe yet exhilarating event that truly honors the spirit of desert off-roading. Their careful attention to every detail—from initial brainstorming sessions to rigorous recces—ensures that every participant faces a seamless, thrilling, and well-coordinated challenge worthy of the title “Desert Champion.” For months, this team has dedicated themselves to fine-tuning the Trophy’s experience, strategizing every move to ensure this event stands out as both memorable and meaningful. They’ve transformed their passion and extensive knowledge into an event that goes beyond the norm, offering an unforgettable experience that pushes every contender to the peak of their abilities. At Carnity, we’re immensely proud and fortunate to have true desert legends guiding the way. They are champions in their own right, with a love for off-roading that runs deep and a commitment to fostering a community that shares that same passion. Their leadership and vision elevate the Desert Champions Trophy to more than just an event; it’s an annual celebration of skill, courage, and camaraderie among the finest desert champions. An equally heartfelt recognition goes to @Simon D, @Rob S, @J-P L and @Sohini whose superhuman energy, patience, and tireless support made the seamless execution of this event possible. From early morning until midnight, these incredible volunteers worked around the clock with boundless enthusiasm, tackling countless tasks with precision, multitasking seamlessly, and maintaining a welcoming smile despite the long hours. Their dedication, even without rest, to assist, guide, and encourage every participant was nothing short of exceptional. Their unwavering presence and genuine commitment uplifted the entire event into a smooth, organized, and rewarding experience for all. They are the true symbol of the teamwork and resilience that Carnity treasures. Thank you, all, for making this year’s Desert Champions Trophy not just possible but truly exceptional!

Guess

My bushranger stays steady at 55-60 degree with a single hose even after inflating 4 tires. I recently measured this as one of the new guys unboxed a cutie little (battery pack) compressor bought from Amazon, claiming to inflate four tires. After two tires, it was running at 140 degrees. First time I measured compressor head, out of curiosity. Bottomline, measure yours first, before buying based on video evidence and logic. I feel and think, direct sunlight makes twice the impact on compressor life.

Thank you everyone for signing up for the 2024 Desert Champions Trophy. @ChrisW @Luke K P @Aser @Nizar Shawwa @Cesar Chacon @Andrew John Melvill @Stumpy @Alexander Alcala @RiadJL @Hugo @Wissam @Enrique @Mark B @Gary F @Benjamin @Imran Asghar @JohanE @Bravoecho @Rajiv Sam @Tharun Kumar V @Krishna R @Ahmed Farouk @Zak_ @Bashar Beasha @Mahmoud Taha @Matt - monkeywrench @Jon L @Imteeaz @Davie Chase @JeromeFJ @Gaurav Soni @Asif Hussain @Looper @Albertorres @Zed Please find the schedule and plan of action for the Desert Champions Trophy.
