DXB Int, from Murquab to Qudra vol.2.

Post by Gabor »

We gathered in time in a very nice morning at Murquab farms. Aftet some cancellation and new registration we counted 8 cars, 7 driver from our club and one of my good friend who is driving in another club.
After the briefing we hit the dunes, the first section was a nice, technical area with a small but very short dunes, hidden pockets and ditches. The drivers acted well, of course some second try and recovery happened. Later we stopped for greeting with another club's marshalls, short chit-chat, changing some info, then go again. Soon we reached one of my favourite area, medium size untouched dunes with nice slopes, long chains, wher we did some high sraight crest, side slopes, zigzag climbes, pocket crossing, long and combinated drops. Started some easy practice of slide cresting, stopped for explain the theory then practice again.
Everyone drove confidentaly, safely, but this level still a learning period, to get to know our car behavior and capabilities.
I choose Hashim to be a second lead, later Bodderek changed him, both of them followed the order nicely and safely. Rayan was my sweeper and the support, and my friend Petr the floating support. Both of them worked hardly and nicely during the recoveries.
Thanks for everyone for coming, see you next time.

Thanks for such a great drive! Beautiful morning and great company.
Started easy but soon had to keep your concentration to keep on the right track.
A lot of getting timing right and understanding exactly how your car copes and what it can deliver.

Great day driving! Look forward to the next one.

Thanks Gabor for a great trip, and thanks to others who helped with the recoveries! The technical areas were quite challenging. I was stuck cross axled both times, it will be useful to learn how exactly to drive a car without a diff lock to avoid this in future. Need to judge the exact momentum required for each situation.

Overall a very enjoyable and educative trip, looking forward to more!
