Great list. I would add: bring a torque wrench and check your lug nuts between sessions. Thermal cycling loosens them more than people realize, and a wheel coming off at speed is one of the worst things that can happen on track. I check mine cold before session 1, then warm after session 1, then before each subsequent session. Takes 60 seconds per wheel and it is the highest-value safety check you can do.
The bus stop advice is spot on. I spent my entire first weekend braking too late for it because I was treating the entry as a straight-line braking zone. Once my instructor explained that the approach has a subtle curve and you need to be slightly trail braking to keep the nose planted while the car changes direction, it completely transformed that section. Also worth noting — the concrete patches in the boot section can be very slippery when the temperature is low in the morning. Do not be a hero in the first session of the day.
