We hit the golden sands of Nahil bright and early this morning, ready to put our junior drivers’ skills to the test. With advanced training on the horizon, these trial runs are perfect for dialing in our techniques, pushing our limits, and seeing just how far our off-road skills have come. And honestly, there’s no better place than Nahil on a Sunday morning for exactly that!

With our tires deflated, safety briefings done, and final checks complete, we roared into the dunes—engines growling and spirits high.

Picking up the pace from last week, we covered serious ground within the first 30 minutes, really putting our juniors through their paces. And wow, they nailed some of the key techniques we’ve been focusing on! After some stellar driving, we found the perfect spot to kick back, swap stories, and enjoy a well-earned break with some banter and breakfast snacks.

Recharged and ready, we aimed for bigger dunes—and they didn’t disappoint. The next stretch had some gnarly climbs and demanding slopes. That’s when one of our crew members ran into some engine trouble—just not enough torque to tackle the steeper sections. So, we guided them to the nearest emergency exit before continuing the rest of the route.

Now down to a tighter convoy, we kicked things up a notch. With fewer cars, we could move faster, opening up the throttles and edging closer to those rev limiters as we powered toward the exit and tire inflation point.

All in all, a fantastic morning out with the crew! Big shoutout to Ryan for holding it down as our sweeper. Can’t wait to catch you all out in the dunes again soon!
