Thank you Gaurav for the amazing drive!
As discussed, I just wanted to share a quick summary of my off-roading experience as part of my request to be considered for a level upgrade.
So far, I’ve done 7 off-road drives in total:
4 drives with another off-roading club here in the UAE, where I got familiar with convoy rules, dune driving, and basic recovery techniques.
Plus 3 drives with my partner, who's an experienced off-roader, and helped me practice more advanced stuff in a one-on-one setting.
During those personal trips, I had the chance to work on:
Different self-recovery techniques, including recovery from the bottom of a bowl (where I got happily stuck) and using a rope
The importance of never fighting gravity
How to properly apply the right amount of acceleration
Applying the right steering input to stay smooth and in control
Driving at a faster pace
A bit of technical dunes driving for better control
How to safely do parallel crest crossings
Climbing up the Iftar bowl and the surrounding dunes
How to fix a pop-up
Thank you again and I'm looking forward to the next drives with Carnity
