Fantastically driven by everyone today! Thanks to the great support of @Andrew John Melvill @Jose Luis Campos@Ishak and @JC_E doing perfect second lead duties, it was a smooth sailing drive and we could gently ramp up the level. Climbing Big Red dune from the backside with 18cars says a lot about the skills you all portrayed today! Was also great to meet up with @Jun Zamora! Shama drove fantastic today You can add your photos in the below Media Gallery: Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Pink Rock - Sharjah- 10 May 2026 - Carnity.com @Jerome and @Joao Aguiar as you both have good experience from several drives in other clubs, feel free to request your promotion to Fewbie level so you can further stretch your legs.
