I know it all hinges very much on the decision on the 21st June however it seems like it's all still planning to go ahead...so far.
I'm sure there will also be either a flurry of accommodation bookings or cancellations depending on 6/21 and I predict it's going to be a much quieter affair than previous years given the large number of overseas visitors that normally attend.
Either way, I've got Thursday tickets and I'm rather looking forward to it.
Who else is still planning to go?

This. Parking is not an issue, getting to the car parks can be.
It's well signposted and organised well, but the approach roads are small and limited capacity.
Agreed, I live locally to Goodwood and depending on where you're coming from the approach roads are going to be the main issue, If you're coming down to Goodwood from the north you may find it better to avoid the small approach roads directly to Goodwood and instead take a route that brings you to the A29 down to the A27 at Fontwell and then approach from the East as they tend to keep that moving faster.It's well signposted and organised well, but the approach roads are small and limited capacity.
The absolute best way is on a motorbike though. ;-)

..with the feeling that electric cars are coming whether we like or not.
It did feel a bit like that, although the FOS is now almost purely a corporate event for manufacturers to showcase their latest and greatest; so little surprise that everything was electric. I thought the electric car alley was a missed opportunity though, I would have quite enjoyed exploring some of the current offerings however the nauseatingly upbeat music was so loud it actually drowned out the chap flying the jetpack!
The Boston Dynamics robots were as awesome as expected though, so cool seeing those in the metal.

Oh come now. You are so incredibly blinkered to say that. Don't get me wrong the FOS is still a cracking day out and I've been looking forward to it for ages, the efforts of everyone involved to make it as good as it has been should be applauded! The Future Lab is perhaps my favourite part of the show, and seeing the Boston Dynamics robots was an awesome surprise!
Still looking forward to the MM more though ;-)
So glad the event finally went ahead, it seems like we all had a brilliant time, I know I really enjoyed a brief return to normality.
Amazing effort by all involved to get it going (I heard that the pilot event request was rejected and they had to appeal with only 10days to go).
Roll on the Revival and Members meeting!
Incidentally if anyone wants tickets to the members meeting but isn't GRRC or Fellowship ping me a message and I'm happy to order them for you.

No you won’t.
Why's that?I thought we were allowed to buy tickets for others?
Edited to add:
Ahh I see they're all sold out now, when I checked the other day I could have sworn they still had some available on the Saturday.
