Greetings of the Season and Wishing all a very Prosperous and Serene New Year. I may not be able to join this drive, family and friends have plans for going to RAK and authorities have imposed a last entry to RAK at 1400hr which will make it quite difficult to manage both for me. Since the RSVP is already closed, I am not removing myself in the hopes that in case of my plan changes I may be able to join at the start time. @Looper Hope doing this is acceptable. Have fun guys and enjoy.

Only a few pics managed as forgot to initiate the recorder. Regards

This was a welcome weekday getaway drive for me personally. @DP1011 Wonderful leading the way around some really busy areas bro. @Davie Chase was surely relaxed having the wonderful backup around with @munkybizness, @Pacific and @Joji varghese around. Thanks guys, as a team you make everyone feel perfectly safe and strong. @Rafey Hashmi surely is enjoying and pushing his nimble Jimny. @Maytham Mahroos you have a beast of a vehicle. Push it well and you will be leaving all far behind. @Gary F @george charbel @Felix Obst solid work at the back guys. It’s been a pleasure to be with you all. see you all soon. Ciao.

A Fantastic win @Icon Auto, your offroad prowess is admirable, and more so inspirational to us. What a feat you have accomplished and we are proud to have witnessed this first hand. @CarnityThanks for making this a wonderful experience for us all and achieving it safely. Thanks to all the organizational support for bringing this together. Three Cheers for the all the winners, participants and organizers alike!!

@Gaurav I’m sure it would have been verified in all its wisdom. And without an iota of doubt, absolutely there is no denying @Icon Autosupremacy and performance at this event. Hats off!! My post was not a challenge to the decision ever. Basically we had drawn a route which traversed the tiny gap between the 2 No go zones, (as must have most teams Im sure thought about it for fun) but scrapped it in the very beginning for anything coming close to disqualification. Wouldn’t be worth the risk😂 In the very highest event forms of Motorsport this would be a near suicidal attempt. Just brought the intrusion part out as it’s a learning process for us all the 8 teams.

@Carnity An amazing toast raised to all off-road enthusiasts by this wonderful event successfully completed in style. @Icon Auto Wow! You guys attacked the dunes head on and blasted and nailed it. A big congrats to you guys. The amount of learning daring guts we got to know from your scores is beyond bounds. Almost perfect score. @Looper and team. Great work and commendable performances. It’s great to be learning from you guys. Thanks @Carnity for this exposure to our members with @Icon Auto and Team StrongHooks, this raises the bar for us. As a strict rule based off-road group, I couldn’t help noticing that while we chose to do multiple passes when in doubt but (without taking away at all from @Icon Auto fabulous and untouchable glory) I do notice ingress of formidable NO GO areas twice which would ideally lead to irreparable damage like disqualification. @GauravSoni man oh man, you and team. Bro. Fantastic. Unbelievable what you guys achieved. Congrats. Some score you put up and made us Carnity members proud. You, our internal Carnity heros. I personally thank @Asif Hussainin having faith and allowing me to join his team Sand Runners. @Cole bertasso @JohanE @Jaro Tuzinsky we jelled into a brotherhood that I will remember for life. Asif bro you clearly had the most unrecognized fellows under your wings. Shoutout to @JohanE with around a max of 4 desert drives, and @Cole bertasso with similar experience Anyways amazing learning experience for us all. Wish Carnity keep making such challenges every year so we keep learning and bettering our self’s.

@Gaurav Is there media coverage of the event. Do I get to wear my broadway suit? 😆

All the best to Team Sand Runners.

@Issam Atra, @Ishak, @Emanuel, there is one spot vacant still for DCT group with Asif. If anyone wants to join in contact him directly @ Asif Hussain or let me know and ill contact him. @Cole bertasso is already there.

The morning started with a wonderful coffee at the fuel station before reaching the starting point, and it turned out that the only tank filled was my own and forgot to fill up the vehicle. I couldnt be embarrased enough when I announced just before entering that the tank was empty. Thanks my sand brothers for waiting out the embarassement for me. The drive route was taken through its paces, and I could feel @Davie Chase had decided to give us all some lessons which maybe was left back from last Sunday's drive in the same place where we were unable to move in rhythm due to frequent stucks. @Emanuel your second lead was great bro. @Cole bertasso Hope to see you regularly. @Issam Atra@Ishak its always nice to meet you both. You are both doing great with each of your drives, We three have been gaining experience up literally together and feels 'homie' to see each other. Hope to keep levelling up safely and make our mentors proud. I had a front cam installed, the videos are there, but somehow couldnt transfer it out. Once done will share them, hopefully should make a good view. @Gautam Banka, @Sreenath G You did miss a good learning drive guys.

Very well put through @Benjamin this gives a perfect visualization of a level up.

@Davie Chase @Looper, thanks for your appreciation. Learnt much from you both and also @Hisham Masaad @Vanessa8580 @DP1011 Thanks a lot for the encouragement. Will continue to stand on the shoulders of giants. Cannot appreciate enough the @Carnity family.

Gratitudes and thanks for the acceptance @Gaurav Leveling up feels like a video game 🎮 Hope it gives additional skills too. 😂

Best of luck to all of you. 👍🏻
