My dad had a bit of a go a few years back - you are in for a great (half?) day mate!
Watch your revs - IIRC they will pull you in if they can tell you've been going over their prescribed rev limit. A few fellas were pulled in to the pits and that was the end of their fun. Also, chance are you will find it more than a little hard to not gun it on the way home, kind of like every journey I've ever had back from a track day or karting session!
Incidentally, my dad met Dr JP a few times through a work thing - he was sadly a massive disappointment of a man sadly. Good driver though.

I did it through work about 4 yrs ago. Awesome. totally awesome, my work had the whole thing booked as a big promo event so we got a full day at it, which was nice. I found out i was quite quick and scarily brave according to one of the instructors made my day that comment.

You do indeed, in fact we got 2 go's. Once on a tight short track then on a longer faster one. They are a bit good and sound awesome.
