You might post up your reply from Rinoseat when you get it. The GTR seat looks good, although I wasn't sure about their payment methods or delivery timescale(I live in Ireland) when I mailed them.
Hi,
1. The shifter position doesn't look the most authentic ~beside your knee~ position as I like it low down beside my knee.
Due to the strong support of the bucket seat in the shoulders (see pic 1 in attachment), to find the proper position for the shifter was difficult.
This position is shown as one possible and it is absolutely fantastic (middle position slightly behind the wheel).
In attachment i put more pictures of the real sports cars (porsche&bmwM3) with the same type of bucket seat like Rinoseat and the lateral image of rinoseat.
For me it is equally position, but if not for you, you can move the shifter up-down, near-far, side-far&near (only G25/G27) and change the style (high&middle - only Fanatec). Also we are ready to make a new position on request for free (we have weeks production here in Europe on own CNC machines, so no problem).
The seat in Rinoseat GTR is hardcore looking bucket seat with increased comfort and size with a little changed shape:

2. Another thing is, do you know when this will be availible to buy; I ask because your concept is very nice, compact, no bar between your legs and stable. Great for people like me who haven't got much space and are not willing to go for a wheelstand because rigs are better.
We started with the weeks production and delivery, and you can buy the Rinoseat, now.
3. To finish off, how much will it cost.
We have next models
