What is this car, and at what event is it racing ?
Ah yes, but will it still be here when I'm allowed to say I know?

See my comments on the "other" puzzle. :)
I've removed a clue that you left in the original pic. :)

Thanks. I always reckon nobody would bother to go to that trouble, since the photo library of that organisation would contain possibly millions of images. But you never know......
Experts?

Not a Lagonda. It is the Tourist Trophy, but not 1936.
1929 Ards TT, the car is a Arrol-Aster

Correct. Arrol-Aster 17/50 in the 1929 Ards Tourist Trophy. Two cars were entered (rather optimistically) driven by Norman Garrad and the endurance specialist Eddie Hall. Even with a Cozette supercharger the top speed was 72mph.
Quite an enterprising use of a supercharger with sleeve valves - at least they used the Burt-McCollum single sleeve, not the Knight double sleeve system! Mind you several sleeve-valve aero engines were supercharged.
Can't remember if it was the same Norman Garrad that was the Rootes Group competitions man in the 1960s/70s
