Brakes - upgrade to a good set of GTi6s with good discs (not the cheapest ECP sell...) and a set of racy'ish (DS2500/M1144/M1155) pads.
Sort suspension & bushes, ensure all bushes and mounts are fresh and new.
Good quality oil - not Halfords 10w40 because "it's only a diesel".
Get some track experience before doing the ring - it's well regarded to be one of the most difficult, technical tracks out there. If you've no experience driving on track, I'd highly recommend going and doing at least a few track days beforehand, possibly get some tuition to be able to get the most out of the trip.
Why would the clutch take it any worse!? Unless you somehow start slipping the clutch and doing horrific gear changes with your foot welded to the carpet mid shift, the clutch will take it just like it takes it every other time you floor the throttle?!
