The intermediates on the trip, going from memory were: Derrick, Talha, Vishnu, Sunet in my convoy, and Windy, Rane, and Davor.
Supporting us were Bishar, Shaju, Reji, Raul, Mark and Tompa.
The purpose of this trip was to to evaluate the skills of the drivers on the trip to see if they are ready to move to the Advanced level. We started with some technical dunes on the first half of the trip and no one was having trouble, everyone was practicing good and safe driving techniques, they had control of their vehicles and were not drifting. Then I found some 1 to 2 meter high dunes that were rounded on top, and we practiced driving on these, and exiting off the tops. All drivers displayed good control doing this and had no issues with control, and felt comfortable with this driving. Given this, I think Derrick, Talha, Vishnu, Sunet, Windy, Rane, and Davor have the skills necessary to go to Advanced. I think Mark an Tompa agree with this evaluation.

Sand was really white at the time we started , as a free floating support needed an extra focus to read the dunes and ditches.
All drivers did well. Thanks to Kevin ,Thomas ,Mark and all for a wonderful evening.

It was an amazing trip though there was some difficulty in judging the track. Thank you all marshals, experts and all trip mates for an amazing trip. Kevin’s lead was super. Started as a newbie trip then slowly upgraded to intermediate level and finished with basic advance level. Thank you Kevin
See you all soon again.
