Any updates on the biker ? I guess the incident will require a traffic management rethink for future Goodwood events ?.

Bikers fault by the sound of it so I can't see why they'd need a rethink based on this incident?
Not wishing to speak ill of the injured but we were arriving at the left turn by the Racecourse at about 6:45 each morning and getting into Car Park M each day about 7:10. When queuing along those roads there were a considerable number of bikers who were filtering past the stationary cars. I have no issue with that at all, HOWEVER the speed at which they were travelling was almost as ridiculous as the speed at which the oncoming locals/going to another car park/forgot our passes traffic was heading towards us (when not fettered by a bus). Cars nose to tail, no where for the bikers to duck into in a hurry when they encountered on coming.

Fair enough this was a slightly different scenario to the one we saw but the same principle applies - filtering past stationary traffic on narrow lanes, with sporadic on coming traffic travelling at 30mph or cars at the head of the queue turning right, is not going to end well.
