As mentioned in the early morning briefing, terrain was going to be challenging and soon enough we were riding inside the massive bowls climbing to our hearts delight. We had a good run, but unfortunately had an incident along the way. The most important thing is you both were unharmed. The unfortunate incident showed the fantastic teamwork, and all of you worked very hard to get the Pajero back into a condition so we could drive it out of the desert. @Mehmet Volgayou are a true warrior and kept calm throughout the ordeal and surely we will be meeting again on the sands soon enough. My sincere thanks to the entire team for the efforts to get the car out. Purely from a technical driving perspective, i wanted to give some pointers and feedback on the drive itself on how i experienced it: @Gertjanyour communication was spot on, and the lines you took were very very smooth. Fantastic driving. @Mohit Gurnani I've seen you driving the last couple of weeks and I've been very impressed. The only minor thing i noticed is the speed you carry sometimes, which is in some places excessive and that also means that you need quick corrections to get the car under control. This is a minor remark and overall I've been super impressed with how far you came now. Just try to be mindful of the speed. The trick is to just create enough momentum and speed that's necessary without having to decelerate or brake. I am sure you'll master that very soon. @Ishakas we spoke on the drive, i was very worried about you yesterday, as i saw your Pajero fishtailing and fighting gravity in many areas. Hence i asked you to check in which gear you were driving (we have seen 4HLC can sometimes help in getting a better power ratio vs the regular 4H). I would not advise you to keep driving in 4L otherwise your transmission will be giving up very soon. The Pajero is a heavy car and you will need to learn to find clean lines with good momentum while now you were forcing your way onto most of the dunes and ridges, which not just looks scary, but you have seen yesterday how the desert can be unforgiving. I highly recommend you to join 5-10 Fewbie level drives and adjust your way of off-roading before doing higher level drives. I was seriously concerned about your safety yesterday and hope you understand.
