Thanks @Ale Vallecchi and @davie c smooth operator for the fantastic drive. Also thanks very much @Mehmet Volga for another great support and all the other 2nd Lead/CF/SW of both convoys.
I really enjoyed the very well paced drive and all the different terrains and dunes we have climbed.
Unfortunately my Pajero buddy @rroker had a roll. As a recent offroad driver, everyone tells me that can happen to anyone, anytime, but is always a stressfull situation. Thankfully he didn't got injuried and that is all that matter. But as always, those moments are also very insightful learning moments, at least it was for me:
- First I really appreciate the leadership and professionalism of both marshals dealing with the situation. @davie c smooth operator and @Ale Vallecchi dealt with the it with calm and diligence, calming everyone down, making sure the driver was fine, and then guiding everyone in different tasks to make sure the car was out of there in a safe way. In the meantime always explaining the next steps and teaching us how things are done properly. Great learning moment.
- Secondly it was an eye-opening situation for me. Everyone says it can happen, but we never expect it. Having seen it made me realize that next time can be me, and that although offroading is a lot of fun, one should never forget about possible dangers and be cautious.
- Lastly, this was the live confirmation of the consequences of fighting gravity. Sometimes we push a little bit hard but this situation remind me the importance of knowing when to get out and turn down and a similar situation.
@rroker hope to see you very soon in another drive.
Although this situation was of big importance, we should not resume the driving to that.
It was an amazing drive, a lot of fun and with a lot of different experiences. Thank you all again for this day. I really enjoyed it!
See you next time
