Question Starting car after almost a year

As title. My type R hasn't been driven since October 2019, any precautions I should take before starting? I was thinking of adding 10-15l of fresh fuel then firing it up. Any benefit in disconnecting crank sensor first to build up oil pressure before firing? My thoughts were the oil would have drained back into the sump. All advice welcome.

Yep disconnect crank sensor, turn it over a few times to build some oil pressure, reconnect and off you go

fuel will more than likely be on its way out , fill with super unleaded , drive carefully on a lack of boost till tank empty then refill with super unleaded , oil change
