I have heard that upgrades to the braking system (steel hoses, possibly big brake kit) must be made cos the stock system overheats in 2-3 laps. I'm still running the stock contis and I'm not sure if those would be suitable for track work.

Do I need to do a full fluid change (engine oil, brake, transmission, diff) before and/or after the event?

I'm also worried that the car will develop a whole lot of squeaks and rattles after 2 days of intensive driving...

Any input much appreciated! Thanks!

The car will not develop any squeaks or rattles, assuming you keep it on the pavement. Most HPDE organizers publish a list of car preparation requirements and suggestions. Some even require that a licensed Tech inspects and signs off on the track readiness/safety of the car. Depending on your current service intervals you may need to consider Oil and Brake Fluid service, pad thickness etc. Check with the organizers and Google.
