Hello Guys
This was honestly one of my best drives so far.
@siddharthsai , @hidayathshaik , and I reached the starting point around 2 PM. The intermediate group had already finished their morning drive and looked pretty tired. Seeing that, I thought this would be a chill and easy drive.
But once everyone gathered and Presa started the briefing, I realized pretty quickly that this wasn’t going to be an easy one.
As soon as we started, it was straight into big dune climbs. In the first five minutes itself, I genuinely thought my car was going to break, but somehow it held up.
We were climbing some really tall dunes, doing switches, and driving through very soft sand. The car kept drifting, which made it a bit tricky but honestly a lot of fun.
At one point, Presa stopped us in front of two huge dunes and let the intermediate drivers have a go. We newbies were just standing there watching them in awe it was actually pretty motivating to see.
Overall, this drive felt like proper training for us. It was probably the first time we were attempting dunes of this size, and it turned out to be a great learning experience. I can honestly say my confidence has gone up after this drive.
Our convoy did really well too, with very few second tries needed. Also, big credit to the support team despite having a hectic morning drive, they were still fully active and supported us throughout.
Huge thanks to @presa for organizing such an amazing drive, and to @alshamsi_m , @Mabubaker @Rashidjass , @CARLOSS , @Ehab , and the entire support team for watching over us and guiding us the whole time.
Amazing route, great convoy, and everything went smoothly. Definitely one to remember.
Looking forward to more drives .
