EDIT - just get a stripper for the CS tent.
Job done, most legendary stand ever!

Would be very nice to see a decent layout but as stated above the information about how many of a colour and model aren't available.. I think?
How would you go about directing cars if they are all turning up at random times? You could have a space for 3 black cars on a row/area and then 5 turn up - what then? What if some don't show - you're left with odd spaces? :/
Decided I'd join in and made this. I don't know how many arrows there are but meh - I tried! lol

What about the Trophy?
Audi A4 TDi Sport
the time line would be massive if you had every variation of every model.

I don't think it's realistic trying to get all the cars in the timeline all the same colour (as nice as it would've been)
Thanks for everyones suggestions on layout etc, but we've not got the man* power to park all the cars yet.
*or women, 2% of members are female afterall..

None
matt H has a good idea, puts the focus on the tent in the centre and leaves access for those doing track time, plus you can leave the centre bottom section free for more exclusive models, V6, trophy etc, the more cars turn up the more you can just extend downwards assuming you start from the back of the alloted pitch and work forward.

I was thinking just the ones you already said and the Trophy. No need for any more.
I also think tent should be in the middle of the stand with a timeline encircling it.
Timeline would be 16v; Williams; Ph1 172; Ph2 172 or 172 Cup; 182 or 182 Cup; 182 Trophy; 197; 200. If you had every variation of 172, 182 and 197 it would get silly.

Seriously ambitious I know, but its using every colour mk2 RS, then cars could go around the outside, to make the letters/numbers we could use different models of the same (ish) colours to keep it interesting to look at, i.e a ph1, a ph2, a vee, a 197... the other CS cars could then form a nice boarder, whether it be square or circular around the outside...
Black and blue for bigger letters as they are the two most popular colours (imo)
I have some ideas how you could get the marking out etc done and it would be possible, but it'd be quite involved and you'd have to decide whos cars would be going where in the "main piece" before hand, I'd be more than willing to offer a hand as long as I'm not on holiday on that date, which I'll know within the next few weeks.
I do have some more simple, do-able, ideas, but this one was fun!
Oh and the timeline are the green cars, tbh I'd want....
Mk1's - (As many diff variations as we could get/have(I'm not very clued up
) Mk2 ph1 - Non sport
Mk2 ph1 - 172
Mk2 ph2 - Non sport
Mk2ph2 - 172
Mk2ph2 - 172
Mk2ph2 - 182
Mk2ph2 - 182 Trophy
Mk3 - Non sport
Mk3 - 197
Mk3 - 197 Cup
Mk3 - R27 (or what ever they are called)
Mk3? - 200
P.s CS tent could go in the middle of the CS bit!

Yup, trouble is the naive people know best. This is why we will try to keep the layout as simple as possible, whilst still making it better than a Tescos car park. Putting all the cars in colour batches will not be happening.
That's final then, Will. has kindly offered to park the 200 odd cars at FCS :approve:

It's always a faff on trying to sort out 'fancy' patterns, I guess that's why a lot opt for lining up, as you'd hope most people are capable of doing that.
Unless you go the day before and mark out the (I'll use Robbos as an example) circle, the letters, the 2010 and timeline the day before and give people allocates turning up times (which won't work) or have a holding area (which most people won't want to sit and wait in - considering they've queued for ages to get in) then on the day (we all know how hectic it gets once you're through those gates and finding your area) you're going to have a monumental fail or so much unnecessary stress it's just not worth it - and not just for Bri and his helpers but members too. Setting this up could take up a whole day! And it's not what people go for.
In addition, you're going to have to have someone in the air checking it's all lined up properly and looks how it's supposed to and probably a huge ground space to be able to achieve it due to the curve of letters and the size of cars.

^ That's pretty much what we're going to do, It's hard to make deffinate plans until we see the area we got to work with. I will know exactly what we are going on the afternoon of 12th June.
I'm hoping we can have more than one area with cars parking simultaniously (if that makes sense) to ensure we don't have long tail-backs and lots of discruntled members.
