Alain Canivet-Abikhalil

Thank you @Wrangeld for this amazing experience ! I missed the Yellow / UAE truck the day before, and I would have been sad if after 2 nights in a cold, condensation filled tent I didn't get to see it. Allow me to point out you were the only Marshal to make it twice to YT 👏👏👏

It is always a pleasure and a source of great learning to drive with you, and I was happy I didn't have much support to do - it allowed me to enjoy the ride, the majestic scenery and to take in the performance we achieved. I have to thank the convoy for that :)

@Richard Franks always nice to see you and perfect 2nd lead.
@Thomas Varghese that was the 3rd adventure in 3 days together and perfect attention at the back.

 @Damien Ranjit @ShereenMK @Alphin Aloor @Nabeel Abdul Rahman & @Alexanderrr you made a beautiful and well driven convoy ! As @Wrangeldsaid, you can be proud and claim you made it in and out of Liwa !

Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you soon !

Hi @Shaaz Sha please WL for 2nd drive or support if needed. 

Very nice list of people that is !

Well done @Manoj Soman !

See you on the next level

Well done champ ! @Bernard Kalaani

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher I will remove myself from this drive as I will support another convoy on Saturday. Will join another time  Enjoy !

Hi @Janarthan you can add me as support on this drive.

Well done my friend !

Looking forward to drive with you in Abu Dhabi dunes @Josh T.

Congrats @varunmehndiratta 

Bravo cher ami ! @JeromeFJ

@Islam Soliman Thank you for this morning drive in the beautiful dunes of Al Fayah.

I enjoyed being out there with you and all the team. We covered quite a distance for a fewbie drive and given the terrain. The long range dunes were a very good opportunity to practice and learn to control your car, your fish tailing, taking advantage of momentum and exiting safely from the dunes. I do believe everyone did very well.

We had a few refusals and stucks - that is definitely part of the game and part of the learning curve - again well done everyone, I hope you all got out of the drive with more experience 

Great support from @Josh T. and second lead from @Belal Aldaour

See you soon guys !

@Lorenzo Candelpergher better safe than sorry... See you soon !

@Islam Soliman as mentioned, I removed myself from this drive

@Islam Soliman I would like to switch from the afternoon drive with you to this one if it's okay.

Thank you.

Well done @PaoloMaraziti we missed you

Please WL for second driver of the weekend

For me today was a discovery. I had never driven in that area before. @Islam Soliman When you first warned us of the challenge, I couldn't really expect what was coming. The tight high dunes looked impressive and wild at first. But the more you made us climb it the more confident I felt. As you said, it was gonna be demanding on the driver qnd on his car. But with focus, guidance and discipline I believe our convoy pulled off a very nice performance. A few refusals here and there - but probably expected in this terrain - and a very nicely mapped out route led us through iconic desert spots all the way to our exit in Badayer. Looking forward for the next one.

@JeromeFJ you were were a great attribute for the success of this drive. Hope you sorted out all your bills 😅

@Russ always there when needed, great support mate !

As mentioned by @Rawad we kind of grew up together in this passion, and the mutual respect makes our drives very soothing. Every Sunday when I choose my drive, I look at the list of joiners with a smile knowing I'll have a blast driving with you guys @Danish Mohammad @Chinthaka Ruwan @Sunil Mathew @Ranjan Das @Humayun Ghias

PS : @Rawad thanks for the connector

@Shaaz Sha really enjoyed the drive. It seems I'm a regular at your drives  We had a very nice spirit all along. A challenging route but very determined crew. Well done everyone !

 @sertac glad to benefit from your valuable experience.

@Matt.T great support mate.

@Pacific thanks for your advice.

@Warren Flay @S Jacob @Charbel @Gilbert Khalil @Tareck@Werno very nice to see you and drive with you guys. It was a very lovely Friday morning

@Alain Canivet-Abikhalili am not sure if we drove before but you sounded so familiar as if we drove many times together , or is it the passion

We did once... It was with @Chaitanya D at pink rock 🤗

Congrats @M.Seidam I believe you handled pretty well a long convoy with pretty established and experienced drivers and it was a blast for a midweek drive.

@Chaitanya D thank you for the night drive.

This drive had a certain "cachet", being led by the 2 docs @Hisham Masaad@Russ @Niki very reassuring to have such support on the drive - even though we kept you quiet

Really enjoyed driving and seeing you all today, and well done everyone especially for the new fewbies !

Well done @Abdul Rafay-S ! See you soon 

That looks like a very nice convoy

@Chaitanya D is the meeting point as per the link on the announcement ?
