Some will say you need a sump baffled or such like i have run with semi slicks at oulton and cadwell without a baffled sump and spa and the ring come to mention.
Brakes i noticed you didnt mention just make sure you have good pads and decent fluid in and get your goe set up and have fun .......

imho it's long high G cornering that will do your engine harm, so road tyres should be fine as they offer less grip, I've only done Blyton (rallyx circuit).

As per Dunx, it is the long corners that have the greater effect.. like Clearways at Brands.
These bends are also likely to cause fuel surge.
As for brakes, I quite like the Ferodo DS2500 but I hear (and planning to get these next) the Performance Friction ones are superb!

I managed to boil my brand new brake fluid by relying too heavily on the brakes.... pedal clacked against the bulkhead, I shifted down and turned in, then went round for a couple of laps to calm down.
Advice is build up your speed gradually and be kind to the brakes, apply firmly at first and ease off the pedal as you enter the corner. Mostly enjoy.

M1155 crumbled on me, DS2500 are OK but not an ideal track pad. I run PF Z compound all round with PF floating discs although recently changed to 01 compound front and can't fault the braking.
