Hi @Srikumar, @I.M.Shousha إسلام أبوشوشة has done a Master Class with me, but it will be his first time with a convoy. He drives very well and I have confidence from what I have seen in the MC. I hope you enjoy the day out.

Thank you for the vote of confidence and support @Rahimdad . @Srikumar I must say that I had a great teacher @Rahimdadwho made everything look simple. 

@Srikumar Looking forward to learning from you and driving under your flagship.

@Yahya Muniri as explained earlier by Frederic and then by Gaurav, the Absolute Newbie drive is reserved for first timers with Carnity.

Please sign up for the Newbie drives, and in case if they are full, put your name on the Waitlist and the trip lead would add you if a space opens up.

I am removing your name from this drive.

Hi @Srikumar, I actually wanted to book this drive for my fiance who has no prior experience. Plz let me know and I can remove my name from other drives.

[Srikumar]

Then she will need to make a separate ID and can RSVP on this drive.

As in creating a new profile but with the same car? (it’ll be a one off to know if she’s into it so I’d truly appreciate if you can approve this one. I’m happy to be charged extra on my renewal but it’s just a hassle to create an ID for a single drive). Thanks in advance.

[Srikumar]

@Yahya Munir we are all bound by the same guideline of Carnity. I have attached the Carnity Guidelines with regards to the User profile for your reading. Only you can drive under your User ID.
