This golf kart has been adapted to be used by doctors supporting the British Touring Car Championship races around the UK. It has a BTCC badge on the front and a green strobing beacon on the roof. It is only used to drive around the paddock, not on public roads, and therefore in unregistered, carrying “doctor” signs in place of registration plates.
