The track hasn't been altered for power Tour just the paddock it appears the GT and F3 boys don't like to park on grass! The circit is a tricky one take the 1st few laps easy and watch out for Quarry

The only caveat I would add to this is to watch out for the LARGE number of cars on the track at once. Usually during a 'proper' track day at Combe we get a max of 10 cars on and all is dandy. However, the last CCC day I went on they had THIRTY cars on each session. They also had some race prepped cars using it as a cheap test session and using all the other cars as moving obstacles.
