DSC, I need some suggestions..

Dear board, and dear DSC fellow members.. for the one of you that don't know me personally.. I am Italian, moved to UK in 2004 and living in Ascot Berks for business reasons. Loved bikes since age 13, raced at different levels (dirt bikes) since and still nowdays.

let's get to the point. I need some practical suggestion as still a rookie for track days (only two done recently - Brands indy - and 850 miles on my 999) in UK.

two of my crazy Italian (of course bikers..) friends are going to visit me for a week or so.. they are going to drive their car up to London and they are going to bring with them a nice 2005 999 and a nicer 2005 MV F4 1000 already equipped with track fairings. Of course the reason of their vacation is to visit me (not) and do some UK track days. ..experiencing the best UK tracks.. We probably will do a nice reportage and send it to Superbike Italy. It will be for pleasure only, not racing training or other.
I am planning an intensive track days session which will affect seriousily my bike, my stamina..and my wallet... (and of course, I will keep my finger crossed all the time for the weather..)

27June Brands indy
28June Donigton GP
29June Cadwell full circuit
30June Mallory park

Of course, we will start with novice group (me at least).

here the questions:

1) is it a totally crazy plan?
2) From Donigton to Cadwell does anyone knows a place where we can sleep the night (withouth getting back to ascot) with, of course, a garage for the bikes??
3) Starting with brand new supercorsa on Monday 27..how long they will last?? will the tyres make the 4 days marathon?Consider that I am not that fast...
4) what should I perform as maintenance during the track days on the 999, starting the first day in mint conditions (oil, chain etc.) ?

Thanks guys (also for reading this long message..) , any suggestion is welcome.. I have only few spots available in some sessions so I have to book the dates quite soon..
