With the last Newbie (me!) being promoted to Fewbie, I think this drive will turn to an upgraded Fewbie level 😅

@Karthikeyan Govindarajan  the LCs are now in the middle, Strong Center Mid-Fielders 💪

@Hasan Wahlan  bro I drove 10 psi last week, just a heads-up since you'll be after me... If you see the track messed up, it's not me cos my tyres are flat 😂
