Qarouty Iftar drive ( vonvoy 2)
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2024 3:00 pm
First of all, I would like to thank the Qarouty brothers for their generous sponsoring of the delicious Iftar meal.
And thank you Kamran for organising the newbie section.
We were 11 cars in total, me leading, Atari77 supporting Marshal, amoona94 ( intermediate) was 2nd. lead. Also support was Denise( former Marshal, now advanced.
Then we had Stouchka ( Intermediate ),MDammerer ( newbie), Capra (newbie), MartonB (newbie), renjithkadal (newbie) and gigingeorge (newbie). My husband (Burkhard) volunteered as sweeper.
After short briefing and radio setting we headed east, crossed the pilon gatch and headed further east to south east towards Nagra dune. We went several times back and forwards to train smooth transitions between dunes, avoiding sharp crests.
Everyone did very well, we had a few 2nd trys and minor stucks with self- recovery.
We trained also descents, small and deep ones.
We went back to BBQ point at 6pm.
We did some 38 km offroad.
Special thanks to Atari77 for your support and nice Photos, coming all the way from Qatar to participate with a rented car.
