Default Birthday Present - Knockhill Circuit

Just received a birthday present from my two offspring which is a performance driving experience at Knockhill (Edinburgh). Basically its 25 laps - 3 assessment, 2 demo by instructor and then 20 laps of tuition.
Any recommendations on how to prepare the car for the day? What should I check out? The brake calipers (front and rear) have been re-furbed in the last 2 years and the suspension arms etc have all been replaced over the last 20k but I still worry about brake judder when hot due to past issues (caused by stuck pads/pistons made worse by worn control arms). Pads are standard (Brembo pads front and rear) but is it worth going for EBC Red Stuff?

Any tips on how to ensure the day goes well are welcome.
