  1. Hi All ,

    Was never much of an author but I’ll do my best! I’m really sorry if the terms or technicalities mentioned below are wrong , this is my small understanding and thought I’ll share it with you rockstars 

     Al qudra though being one of the simplest routes , summer plays a huge factor in terms of maintaining momentum. Having a V8 5.7 liter engine , momentum was never much of a concern during the winter sands. I usually never used to worry much about stopping in soft patches , this time I kept maneuvering into hard ground to brake and stop , to avoid Fredrick having to tug me out. This was indeed a watch and observe drive. Helped me understand a lot of factors to respect when the harsh summer kicks in. I really didn’t trust the weight of my car and aired down to 9 PSI both front and back wheels. I was watching the black FJ brute tackle the dunes in front of me and for a moment I was envious of short wheel bases, The ease of tackling. Long wheel bases like mine at technical spots feel like maneuvering a bus inside Emirates mall ( @Frederic’s words not mine )

    I really admire the patience of the marshals ( Fredrick and Gaurav) who had an eagle eye out for all of us and made sure all of us were safe and well recovered. This is remarkable leadership skills and instills confidence in all of us. 
     

    Honestly I look forward to nothing more nowadays than our Friday drives. 
     

    Stay safe
    Nikhil
