@Lorenzo Candelpergher, this drive was amazing and for sure to keep in the records ! Every thing was there. Beautiful empty spaces, endless climbing and side sloping, breathtaking crest crossing, deep narrow bowls, steep slip face descents ... it was a real festival ! The sand was compact at the beginning, and became rapidly softer with the sun rising (and the 2 Patrols making their ways ;)) and it was real pleasure to drive through these almost virgin areas, with no tracks, and no sight of any other convoy. The short and compact convoy was in perfect configuration, focused on your lines, and following the intense pace with no hesitation. @Christian Andras, @Ranjan Das, @Lawrence_Chehimi, @Rawad, @Looper, @Mario Cornejo, @Dodi Syahdar, it was a pleasure driving with you all. Thanks again @Lorenzo Candelpergher for taking us full throttle through this beautiful itinerary !

Many thanks @Brette for the drive yesterday ! You managed to find your way through these bulldozer track, it was far from easy. The quiet start allowed everyone go get accustomed with the soft sand, and to realised how important it is to keep the car moving with the proper momentum. Then you could increase the pace with a nice portion of rolling dunes, where we could drive from one side to the other, and get the feeling of the side sloping. Finally a big bowl was a nice playing area where everyone could safely push his car a bit more, to see how far it could climb ! Very nice mix ! The convoy did very well, considering the very soft sand that was accumulated in some areas. No shovel, no rope in a Newbie drive is quite exceptional !! It shows the capabilities of the drivers 1/ to avoid getting stuck and 2/ capable of self recoveries, either alone, or with the guidance of the support. @Adnan Halepota, excellent 2nd lead, following the instructions of @Brette, and holding when the situation required to do so. @Osama M your car is heavy, but powerful. You have seen that it can easily get stuck, but also you where capable of getting out of the stuck with some guidance. With some practice, you will learn how to use safely the power of your car to pass through tricky situations. @Julian Patterson, very good control of your heavy Yukon, and very nice self recoveries in several occasions, very well done. @takeshi sobue, the FJ has great capabilities, being attentive to the guidance of the support and leads, you will learn to make the most of it. Also you could realise the importance of selecting a a good trajectory for difficult climbs. Keep driving ! @John Vanderbleek, very good command of your FJ, soon, you will be able to make the most of it ! thank you for the support in guiding fellow drivers when needed. @Willie very well driven during the whole drive. @Derius Olivier, it was nice to see one of these LR on the sand and not only on Downtown Boulevard! very well driven, always in control. You will be able to access more difficult drives without issues. @Johannes Roux, very well driven also, keep an eye on your fishtailing on side slopes when you will come to bigger dunes. Thank you all for the company and the good spirit during the drive! Please get sure you arrive to the next drive with your radios all set with the Carnity frequencies. See you soon on the sand.

Thank you Frederic, clear and simple explanation, perfect complement to the video !
