It’s a shame I can’t be in your first drive Simon. I’ll be traveling with Matt and other DO drivers. Next time.
Enjoy it folks.
As I am not sure, I will let the chance for other to register.
I don’t want to occupy a spot if I am not 100%.
If there is availability we’ll decide last minute.Congratulations in advance for your 1st drive!

Simon, I have followed you many times and look forward to your ‘first’ drive as a Marshal.
Looking forward to this!
Congrats on your first trip.. looking forward to it 😀
I am in
All spaces filled, no more registrations. Peter is last place.
Will PM start coordinates on Saturday.
Looking forward to driving with you all! 😀 😀 :drive:
Drive will start at 6:30 as U2 sung “with or without u”, no one wants to get up at 5:15 to wait around 30mins for late comers.
I really enjoyed my first official lead today. Everyone drove extremely well and supported each other. Thanks to Sahil and Francis for your support at sweep, you gave me some well needed confidence that I had sufficient back up although no recoveries were needed. I was impressed with Vish who had second lead who showed how he has developed as a driver making Iftar bowl look easy (hope your wifes feeling better now shes back on tarmac #:-s). It was a prompt start at 6:30 at Sony Ericsson as we made our way to Badayer. We managed to hit all the big dunes on route and covered some technical areas where we were travelling against the “grain” of the dunes. We were out at 10 am so made good progress. Sorry Leo that you couldn’t make it due to car troubles. Hope to drive again with you all soon. :drive: 😀
