Question is, if I turned up at Brands or Thruxton or whatever with one of those would they let me take it in and use it?

The main question is would you be able to get round the circuit with that little fuel!! Look good though...

That's enough fuel to get you a few laps in but you'll have to pit for more fuel before the racing cars

Ive seen quite a few people using them at Donnington both in the pits and the crowd. They are quite nippy and can kick up a fair bit of dust, but ace way of getting round.

Depends on the circuit, some have rules that say no motorised paddock transport (well unless the event is a big one and you are a god) Snetterton does for certain and these rules are normally enforced by the organising club who get bollocked/fined from the circuit if they don't. Generally I think you'd get away with it particulary if you turned up late went in the paddock entrance and bunged the bloke in the shed a fiver

Well I use a GoPed Sport for my race days and I've never had any issues.
Snetterton do allow motorised pitlane transport, but as with all Octagon circuits, insist that you have a valid licence and insurance. As you don't need a licence and insurance for a GoPed; its fine.

One warning though. Get the GoPed Bigfoot with proper tyres as the solid rubber wheels on most motorised scooters will have your filling sout in 5 minutes and are useless on non-tarmac terrain.
