Goodmorning @Ana I hope you are well! Unfortunately, this is a Fewbie level drive and your current level still shows Newbie, so we won't be able to accommodate you.

If you like to request your promotion, you can do so by heading over to below link:

Hello Frederic , 

Thank you for your remark . 
My application for Fewbie was still opened, missing gear proof . I just submitted real  photos of the gear for review by the team 🙏
I will see you soon on the next drive . 
 

wishing you a fun drive and hope to seeing you soon!!

Apologies, I have to drop out. I’ve come down with a bout of flu so dust, summer heat and a lack of focus is probably not the best idea at this point. Gutted to be missing out! Have a great drive. See you all next time.
