Hi @H3 Joe .. I see that you have a big time gap in your drives.. if you are getting back on sand after some time, I would advise you to start at 1 level lower (at FB +) that your current rank (IM).

Ah damn. There are no other drives available unfortunately and I leave Dubai next week 😥. @GauravSoniis it possible that I could be added as an eleventh driver to an FB+ drive by any chance ?

This is recommended since safety is top priority! You have waitlisted on the FB+ drive which is a good step. There are always dropouts in the last few days or hours as well. Hang in there!

@GauravSoni, I’ve just managed to lose my wallet this morning and I’m running about trying to hunt it down and deal with all the ID issues. Will have to bow out until I resolve this. Thanks so much for trying to accommodate me though 🙏🏽

hi Mayank hope you get it back soon with all the IDs and cards. Similarly while paying for coffee today I realized I lost my ATM/debit card. Blocking & getting new card was easy through app, but now I've to wait until after new year to get new card... means no spending this long weekend 😭
