Sorry @Max Beloenko I have removed your RSVP from this Fewbie level drive, as you are still Newbie and its not safe for you to join Fewbie level drive yet. You profile shows you have done 4 Newbie drive so far, once you complete 5 newbie drives, you can apply for your promotion. You can follow the off-road structure for more details.

Just added you to the drive, looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Just an update, I will be leading this drive following a super exciting plan and the idea of Kailas. As he mentioned, it's 2 drives combined, so keep a buffer of an extra hour please.

Welcome @Andre Olivenca please hit the waitlist button, so you will be automatically moved to drive RSVP if there are enough dropouts this week (and will receive email notification of the confirmation). If not you will be moved to next week Absolute Newbie drive on priority (with email notification).

Welcome @hugo and if 5 people wont drop, lol, you will be added to the next week Absolute Newbie drive as a priority before opening that drive.

It's really sad to see you leaving Marjan, being for rules or chore your experience and knowledge will be greatly missed here. You were the true pioneer who contributed with a game changing idea of restricting single drive in 2019, to make things fair and open for all. Followed by many great teamwork, silently delivering on the community spirit with best of your capabilities and supporting newbie to achieve great wonders, as many have mentioned above. Wish you good luck for all your future endeavor and hope to see you soon, drive safe.

Really sad to see this happening, but we do understand that with time many things evolve. Thank you and congratulations @Lorenzo Candelpergher for being such a great offroader above all, who have the perseverance and determination to master the art of off-roading and managed to succeed with flying colors with an impossible size of Y62. You are a true example of driver attitude and skills makes all the difference in off-roading. Till date I have never seen anyone handling that big of beast with sheer perfection, control and extreme precision from technical terrain to monstrous dunes. And after you've change to Rubicon, you've become invincible, as rightly put above by Richard. Surely our path will cross again, till then drive safe and take care.
