@syed salman raza @Antony Calvin I see that you have RSVPed for this drive and also for another one this weekend. Please choose any 1 drive for now and you can put your name on the waitlist for a second drive. This would give other drivers a chance to rsvp for atleast 1 drive over the weekend. On Wednesday, if there are still spots available after everyone has got at least 1 drive, you can be added to the convoy for a second drive.

@Larry Cadden I have added you, can you please confirm?

Good evening @Mario Cornejo, I didn’t add the exit point, because, depending on our convoy response, we might exit either in Badayer (Big Red) or at 2nd December Road Cafeteria.

Congratulations @Matt.T!

We never exceeded 20km/h I swear

Wow thanks @Craig Finlayson! That was fast!

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.

Good evening @Kalahari, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Craig Finlayson, @Christian Andras Happy to see you tomorrow morning at 7 (or let’s say a few minutes before) for our drive in Shuwaib. Please don’t underestimate the distance to our meeting point, which is quite far from Dubai. Last gas station is ADNOC just before Madam roundabout. Convoy will be announced tomorrow. We will use Carnity Radio channel n°3.

@Rizwanm2 thanks for advising us. See you next time then!

Excellent news @Ganesan Kathirvel! Stay safe.

Hi @Heisem, it’s nice to see you back, but unfortunately you haven’t done 5 IM drives with us yet, so I have to ask you to put your name on the waitlist for the IM drive Friday (same area, with Sri) so that we can allow you to join the next extreme drive.

Congrats @Gavin Hill! Well done mate.

@Christian Andras I added you as I think that you already have done 5 IM drives, and we know that you’re fit to this drive. @Ilya Golubinsky since you have only 2 drives at intermediate level with Carnity, I prefer to invite you to join an intermediate drive for this time. Besides, after a lift, you need to get used to your 4x4’s new gravity points.

Thanks, everyone for showing great interest to do Extreme drive with me. Based on our Crew and Marshal feedback, from your previous Intermediate drives with Carnity, the below names have been approved for joining next week's Extreme drive. @Kalahari @Jorge Stepniak Felippe @Craig Finlayson @Rizwanm2 Others please join the IM drive to build your experience and boost your confidence, so that your trip lead can vote for you in the next Extreme drive. @Tero Vallas @Islam Soliman @Abu Muhammad @Shaaz Sha @Mukundan Nair

Extreme Desert Drive - (Testing Phase) Extreme Desert Drive is an extension of an Intermediate drive but at a lot faster pace with a continuous drive-time on big rolling and difficult dunes. The difficulty level of climbs, ridge riding, criss-crossing will be more or less the same as the Intermediate level, but doing that over and over again at high speed requires special attention to be courageous but with extreme caution. If you and your vehicle are perfectly in-sync with the Intermediate level without repetitive stuck, refusals, or losing track, then only you should consider joining this fast-paced extreme drive. This drive offers the maximum adrenaline among all the types of drives and also demands a very experienced and sensible driver with a fully protected 4x4 vehicle. In such extreme fast pace drive, it is highly recommended to drive alone without any passengers to avoid any distractions. Who can join: Selected - Intermediate and above With a minimum of 5 Intermediate drive experience. The final selection will be based on Crew and Marshals feedback. Disclaimer: The chance of damaging your vehicle is quite high in such fast-paced extreme drives, so please join at your own discretion. _________________ This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines.
