Short & Sweet Sweihan (ADV)

Post by SandSailor »

It was a last min decision yesterday to open the drive as I will be away from Dubai for around a month, but Marshal Serkan (SeRkan) and Bassem (Hachem82) thankfully joined and we had a wonderful morning drive @Sweihan.

Me, Serkan and Bassem formed a short convoy and enjoyed the roller coaster ride with a lot of side cresting, crest runs, side sloping and switches all long. I lead for the first half and then asked Serkan to take us for his signature ride for the rest. The coffee that Marshal prepared for us under the shadow of a tree with the cool wind in the air was another memorable moment.

It was an uneventful ride with a lot of fun, a few second tries and only one stuck that needed recovery (I will not name and shame here but will do it on Instagram properly, as revenge is a dish best served cold 😈). I was especially happy to see (or just the otherway around, not being able to see the others) how my JKU performed vs the mighty JLU and powerful FJ on a few climbs and switches 😎.

Bassem did really well both coping with us as at times we lost in the moment and level increased 🤗, also as the sweeper. Great control of his powerful FJ, also on crests, just needs a bit more practice to limit drifting. Great drive Bassem.

Thank you both and see you on sand soon…

Emre thanks a lot for the drive, it was really one more memorable drive with you. I was 10 minutes late, sorry again keeping you waiting for me guys.
Emre did the briefing and lined up the convoy, I started as second lead and Bassem was sweaper. Emre’s track was so enjoyable and we did many practices. Bassem was great and controlled his car very well. It was my first drive with Bassem and I appreciated him.
During the second part of the drive I was leading and. Emre took the second lead and sweeper positions while changing with Bassem.
We had some second tries and one stuck (I will not mention the name here since Emre is going to post on Instagram 😀)

Thanks again for the beautiful day Emre and Bassem and see you soon at sand

Regards
