Really nice looking convoy, looking forward to the drive.

@MarkH summertime desert driving is generally an early morning activity for safety of all. Drive start times will normally be either 05h30 or 06h00, with arrival sufficiently before then to be full deflated and have held the briefing before the start time. The aim being to exit the drive before the late morning heat becomes dangerous to humans and the cars. For further afield drives a 03h30 alarm clock is normal 🙃

Well Done @Lukas Wii enjoy the new challenges and pace that FB level brings. Have a blast and see in the sand.

Hi @Aser it has been a real pleasure learning the desert together over the last almost 3 years. From the Newbie days through to tackling the RDC together earlier this year. Getting to know you as a person and not just another club driver, as well as your lovely family (including the dogs!) You will be missed by many, including those who have been on the end of your enforcer radio voice! Many NB's and FB's have leant a lot from your no-nonsense approach to safety and radio discipline. Will miss seeing you master the big bowls and dunes of Sweihan, Al Salamat and Liwa! All the very best for your new adventures in Canada!

@khurramm congratulations, more chances to tame your beast of a car

Well done @Myrko you have come a long way and really shown confidence and ability with your defender. See you in the sand soon.

Well-deserved @Ash S. it is always a pleasure to drive in a convoy with you. Enjoy the new pace and challenges that IM level brings.

Quick question how many off road drives have you done on the G015 tires?

At low pressures there can be some movement between the bead and the rim. Even without a full pop out. I have seen blades of grass, twigs etc sticking out between the bead and rim before. So very easy for some sand to work it's way into this space and cause a slow leak. As said above as well can get small holes from debris and especially barbed wire. Running at low pressure these can sometimes occur in the sidewall. I have had this issue before. Bottom line is that you need to get the tire checked out at a tire shop whenever this happens. If you are lucky the tire will be damaged and you can make the man maths work to get a tire upgrade!

Congratulations @_Herman_ totally deserved. Has always been a pleasure to drive with you and watch your progression! Enjoy the new pace and challenges that IM level brings!

Congratulations @Amer Alsabbagh welcome to FB level, enjoy the new pace and challenges

Was a great morning, thanks all and especially @Frederic, @Srikumar and @M.Seidam for all the learnings.

With the wind today, there should be some soft sand to play in tomorrow!

Congratulations @Joao Aguiar was a pleasure to meet you on Sunday

Congratulations @Jerome was a pleasure to meet you on Sunday

Well done @Nikki1007 very much deserved. Always a pleasure to drive with you. Rock on!

Welcome to the club @Joao Aguiar @Luni and @edward-392 it should be a good drive looking at the banter that has already started 😀. See you all on Sunday morning.

@Diego congratulations, let's see that blue raptor at full intermediate pace!

@Zsolt well done and fully deserved! You will thrive at this level, enjoy the pace and challenges.

Awesome News @Jose Luis Campos and totally deserved, cannot wait to see you in the sand!

Wow Doc, awesome news! @M.Seidam the crew team now has a night club!

Totally deserved @Ale Vallecchi, you will he a key part of the new crew team driving the club forward. The way you have quietly pushed so many of us to become better and test our boundaries will be well suited to the crew role.

100% deserved, @Asif Hussain the time spent driving and chatting with you has always been a highlight of my time with the club. Cannot wait to see you again and offer congratulations in person.

A massive thanks to @Frederic and all of the senior carnity team. This honor is very humbling. Especially at this time of mourning. The carnity club has become my uae family, the level of learning and support available in the club is 2nd to none. I look forward to every weekend drive, not just for the driving but for the people! I hope that i can help keep the spirit of the club alive in the next stage of my off road journey. Once again a big thank you to everyone in the club who has been part of my growth over the last 2.5 years.

Well done @Thomas54675 totally deserved. The passion for the desert and this wonderful community of like minded people does get under your skin.
