Just looking at logistics for next year's FOS and it seems that when the google image was snapped an event was mid-flow, even with cars on the track, which is rare!

Going by the cars on the track I'd guess revival, but anyone able to pinpoint the day/time/their car in the carpark gets extra points!

Judging by the aeroplanes, it must be the Revival

I think Goodwood paid Google for the satellite pass during a Revival event...

People standing nr pit lane on track so not a race no grid girls on grid - 13 cars plus 2 circuit cars all spaced out so I reckon a track demonstration some look like cobras possibly and shadows say around midday - looks like there were 2 dakotas there in 2019 so I was there on Friday but can't see my car where I parked it so sat or sun

This has come up on Facebook a couple of times over the years. Google Earth identifies it as 11:35 on 14 Sept 2019. Goodwood stalwart Steve Tarrant refined it further:

"... the 1959 demo is out on track and the grid girls are lined up in the Assembly area ready for the motorcycles that are waiting in the tow road! And I can see my motorhome on the Lavant campsite, near the security office."
