Sweihan-INT-Gate12 to Al Ain Airport
Posted: Sat May 22, 2021 1:36 pm
This trip was posted mainly for the Dubai team who have never driven outside of Badayer and Qudra. Ended up with 25 amazing drivers join the trip.
We split into 3 convoys led by Michael (EmDoc), Jitesh, and I.
My convoy:
Lead: Hadi
Marshal Support: Sai
Advance Support: Ramesh
2nd Lead: Davor
Sweep: Sunet
Drivers: Emre, Engin, Yaseen, Talha
An amazing drive, starting off with the big dunes at gate 12. Told the drivers to take them 1 by 1 so that I could see everyone’s level of driving before proceeding. We had a few second tries and practice for the drivers to make the whole loop. When I saw the drivers were more confident, we proceeded into bigger dunes and faster pace. The drivers made my job as leading much easier as everyone single one of them drove really well.
We crossed the gatch into some technical dunes to brush up our newbie skills. After that, we came across more big dunes where we stepped on the gas and climbed as much as we could. I instructed each driver to turn down as soon as they were losing momentum. The point of this wasn’t to see how far you could get but how you were controlling your car and knowing when to turn down. We ended our drive by playing on the slopes of the old lady dune and headed out at AL yahar.
I had Talha in my convoy and it was his first intermediate drive. Excellent driving man, we were all impressed to see that prado fly. Thank you Davor for changing the track as per needed and for the good communication. Thank you Sunet for sweeping and making sure everything was okay at the back. Ramesh, excellent driving and thank you for the support. Yaseen, you drove really well and I hope you enjoyed your bbq with family. The weather got better as we headed out.
Emre, Engin, I hope the PCR tests were worth coming to Sweihan and hopefully see you back here soon. You guys were excellent. Practicing in dubai paid off. I had a lot of fun leading you all. Thank you Marshal Sai for encouraging them to come and coming yourself. I had a good team of drivers which made it possible to reach the destination we had planned.
Thank you all for joining me yesterday, amazing company as per usual. See you again soon
