Well.... where do we start ?
- From the search and rescue mission and archeological excavations in trying to find a lost phone ?
- From the two convoys that each went its on way but made it back out safely due to two fantastic leads ?
- From the intense day of driving on the edge of our seats with big wide smiles ?
While a couple of years back we only had a handful of crazy ones that would sacrifice an entire day to go goofing around in Abu Dhabi, we have now plenty drivers that sign up for this madness and carry a big smile while doing so. I am so immensely proud to see where the club has progressed to, and also curious to see where it will take us in the future. The dedication of our marshals and experts and their willingness to venture out and spread their wings is what makes them true trailblazers in my opinion. from @M.Seidam his drives the last couple of weeks, the pressure has been steadily brought up for our Intermediates and they were totally ready for this next level terrain and it showed !
I had @Gaurav and @Srikumar driving right in front of me. Two of my brothers who taught me nearly everything about offroading, and it was an immense joy to push old Kermit to the rev limiter every time to try to keep up with these legends.
The guys behind me soaked up every little challenge with aplomb, from @Amr Aydin putting down exquisite lines, @ASAD. @Waqas Parvez @Vaibhav showcasing their massive experience that brought them to this level, all the while executing every challenge with a clear mind, which is THE MOST important thing when driving on this level and even more so in this terrain.
@JeromeFJ was the one who kept an eagle eye over our convoy and we could not have gotten a better watchman to keep us all in check
About the drive itself... well this was indeed the drive that allowed us to drive the snot out of our cars, but safely and under the guidance of the real masters at their game @Gaurav and @Srikumar I am not yet in the state of mind to recollect every bowl we flew through, and perhaps this is maybe for the best
See you all in the sands very soon again ! (after a car wash perhaps)...
