Team XFR a new member
You all new that Team XFR never will pick a driver from another team and we are a small team. Never the less we once in a while we bring in new members and now the time have come.
I'm proud and happy to announce our newest member, Nicolche.
You will not find his statistics at LFSW though. Nicolche is totaly new in LFS or any other sim. It's a matter of fact he's totaly fresh himself.
My wifes son got a son this night, Nicolche, at 4 am which makes me a proud and happy "plastic" grandpa.
Btw Nicolche have been the "project name" during the 7 months we have new about it.
I will train him as soon he's coming for a visit and introduce him to the wheel, so I guess we'll be able to use him in about 10 years or so ...

I can only say we in the team just love xenoa ... for better and for worse ... 
Actually we are glad he did all this, now we don't have to worry he'll join Core for sure ...
Seriously I find this kind of funy ... thinking of hen turning to tiny little feather. He did what he did without any other reason he have gave to you, no more then that. He even complemented you to pass the test (the same rule as we ourselves have ... NO stealing from other teams). He have never acused you to steal any driver. If you guys are upset of this I dunno what to say really. To bring this up to public in the forum isn't the action we would do in the same situation.
Anyway, here is our official appoligy. Let's move on RACING.

What series did you enter after the rookie series?
Only skippy? No one in the Late? No one seem to talk much about the later one ...
Since I extended to a year subsriction I have the 60 dollars to spend. In what serie do I get the most for it?

Taking a smaller brake now when reached 4.45 - 4.42 ... have been quite intenced for a couple of days ...
But yea ... iRacing is da shite ...
I use to describe the driving feeling as ... imagine the feeling of LFS and add you can actually feel the separe wheels. There you have the feeling of iRacing. No problem at all to feel the wheel are locking up when braking. Besides the tracks and cars feels so alive much thanks to the surface isn't made as smoth as possible, it's as irl as possible, thx the laser scanning I guess.
Did anyone of you made a list over (former) LFS'ers? Would be cool to greet you out there ...
Search for Bertil H and me comes up and add me as friend ...

It's coming very soon, unless it's not already there ...
I'm going to test this, at least for a month.
The new concept, at least for us simmers, to pay a rent and on top of it pay for new tracks and cars in order to follow a league is going to cost us. The price shows we can forget $50 pay and then play as much as we want. Looks as around 7 - 8 times that yearly is what we gonna have to fork out, IF we want to run high end detail simulations.
iRacing seem to be very good and promising. My guess is that many from LFS and other sims will go over there and start a new era. From what these guys have done earlier, my guess is that hard core sim racers will go over there sooner or later.

Review Rino Seat
When searching in the forum I saw there was a discussion about the Rino Seat where it didn't belong imo. Therefor I start a new thread about my review about it since I bought it.
There have been a very strange discussion about the seat, it seem to have stirred up a lot of feelings. This is a seat which have a good price and is easy to move/keep stored on small area AND is very comfortable when driving.
If the moderators find this is not the place for the review pls move it where it belong.
I also posted this review in the RSC forum: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?p=3695615
Here it goes ...
I have tested the seat now for several races around 1,5 hour with the peak at Aston GP 24h in the Live for speed simulator where our Team XFR drove in the GT2 class, where we did 2,5 hours stints.
Halfway we had a podium place, but with two major mistakes we dropped down to 7th ... gahh ...
I had a simple armchair before so this seat was a huge improvement in sitting position. From hell to paradise! ...
Sum
Over all I find the seat very comfortable once I got used to the more laying-relaxing way of sitting. A simple armchair was what I used before. The legs didn't feel like two logs after a 2,5 hour stint. It's a matter of fact I felt very good and was able to do longer stints, only my lack of concentration stopped me.
Also the fixed place for the pedals felt so damned comftable, no fishing with the toes to get the pedals closer ...
The quality of the work is very good, high demands from the constructor means perfect fit and professional look.
I use the Reno Seat when I race and my old armchair when not racing. It's to uncomfortable to sit in the racing seat for a chat, typing for the work or post in forums. It's so easy just to swap places! I don't even have to unplug the wheel.
It's easy to have a contact with Renato via email, the questions I had was quickly answered and he's very sensitive to suggestions.
If you find this reading enough you can stop reading now. Below is a more detailed version, including the shipping-montage-story. In the end it will be a pro - con list.
Shipping
I made the payment in bank via internet at Tuesday December 18th 6.50 UTC. The invoice was written out Thursday December 20th and the Rino Seat G25 Edition itself was send to me from Croatia at Monday December 31st (New years eve!!) I got it out from the Post office at Monday January 7th.
I know there is a lot of red days where people don't work here in Sweden as well as in Croatia with connected holidays. It took 10 workdays to get the seat from paying day, three days of bank transferring and seven days delivering days. I really appreciate the effort to post the package at the new years eve, that would never happen in Sweden for sure!
Montage
It was pretty easy to set it all up, except for the brain storm to get the foot coverage in the right direction. I put it the way I thought was right but changed my mind and did it the other way around. Of course I should have sticked to my original plan, it was the better way. I had the hand in a plaster bandage at the time so I never changed it.
I would prefer a description though which have made it even easier, coming from a born and raised IKEA fan ...
Mounting the wheel
This was the easiest part of all except the gear shifter. It took me some time to figure out how to get the extra, not needed, mounting device in the middle away. Logitech really should have a description for this (maybe there is but I couldn't find it)
Adjustments
The pedals was very easy to mount and adjust. I just sat myself down and hold the pipe with the mounted pedals on it, put it into the nearest holes and screwed the rubber wing nut. It was perfect on the first try.
The back support was almost as easy. I choose the middle solution and that suited me perfect.
Next to adjust was the wheel. Here you don't have endless possibilities with length-hight from the body. I chose to press the wheel as low as possible for not touch the legs. That was the only way to get the wheel as near me as possible.
Comfort when driving
Excellent comfort, I'm so pleased to actually feel the legs after a 2,5 hour stint. The lower body position,or the more laying style of driving with the legs more strait forward made the trick. I could easily do longer stints, the comfortableness was never a question. It felt very practical to reach the buttons at the shifter. After the stints I could feel I was a little sweaty at my back and thighs.
The whole body get very good support from the seat, back, shoulder, neck, and head. Sitting this low I got my eyes a little below the middle of the monitor, to me it felt very good. I don't desire any extra table for the monitor.
To me, used to an ordinary arm chair, it didn't felt that good for the arms. I need something to rest my arms on when capable to do so. Therefor I miss an arm rest. My own fix for this was a pedestal where I put out one of the drawings, I'm sure the constructor is capable to fix something here ...
Others
This seat is not totally stiff construction. It have an very small amount of flexibility almost as vibrations. To me this really bring something extra to the driving! The driving have become more alive. I can actually feel what the car is up to, an extra feed back. You become one with the car. I might add I always drive in cockpit view. I never get a feeling of weakness in the construction, it is very stable!
When I'm not racing I just lift the Rino Seat out of the way and put in my old chair in front of the computer.
Pro's (not in any special order)
Good contact with the constructor.
Easy to montage the seat.
Tools was in the package.
Easy to adjust the seat.
Very comfortable (except for the missing armchair).
Easy and practical to reach the buttons at the shifter.
Very good price.
Easy to move.
Con's (not in any special order)
Missing an arm rest.
Missing an adjust possibility for the wheel in length from/to the body.
Was a little sweaty after 2,5 hour stints.
Missing a mounting description in English.
I mailed the constructor Renato about the issues I have. He have already answered telling he's working with all the posts above. Good work ...

Team XFR New members
Near X-mas Team XFR got not one but two new gifts!!
You probably now the first one by the name of Psymonhilly. For you who don't know him I can only say he's a great guy and a great racer. He have been away from LFS but have made a new fresh start in great style. He now runs in the LFS LeMans League.
Earlier he was a member of the famous Team400 and also in Team ITEK a little later when Team400 imploded. Unfortunately the same happened with Team ITEK. Since then Psymon have been teamless, at least in the LFS area.
He start his trial member period now with the name [XFR]S.Hill ... that period is more or less a formality since we know Psymon well.
The second driver joining our Team XFR is Mitch, or dmt as many of you know him. Also a great guy and a great racer. He is a little younger then average in our team. We normaly don't enroll that young drivers, but this guy shows great potential and good racing head. We have high expectation on this guy. His trail period is going to be longer since he's rather young and not so experienced.
He's starting his trial period now under the name of [XFR]Mitch.
A big warm welcome to our beloved Team XFR both of you ...

Warm welcome to a new member in Team XFR

He's pretty new with S2. He started his online carrier with F1C but turned to LFS 2006 and got is S2 license in the beginning of 2007.
You are going to see a lot more of him from now on. Perfect for us in MoE 24h with that time zone ...

Very interesting.
If I set a restriction on one car, let's say a FXR, does all the FXR get that restriction?
I ask since I would like to use it on our LFS LeMans League where we have both GT1 and GT2 cars racing at the same time. The GT2 is restricted GTR cars and GT1 is the normal GTR cars.

The regulation for GT2 is now (might be some minor adjustments):
FZR 20%
FXR and XRR 25%
Still 5 free spots.
