Even I'm not too sure but I think they are some sort of personal mobility scooters used by the team personnel in and around the paddock area. I never saw them being used.

Brilliant write up. Any motorsports fan would be jealous. I don't know if you have seen the other threads on the Delhi F1 but here they are.

The "scooters" look more like carriers for the noses of the cars (following picture). if they were scooters the handle would be angled to be over the flat stand not away from it. Since no noses were damaged, these "scooters" were never used.

This should convince you that your car is much better put together than a Ferrari F1 car !

I think it's called 'Helicopter Tape'.

It's thin, strong, & usually transparent, tape - used across shut-lines of panels for aerodynamic reasons.

Can occasionally be seen flapping about, especially towards the end of races.

Also used in aviation & other motor sports.

Great thread & even greater pics

I did see it. That is why I didnt post too many pics of the cars.

Thanks for the clarification on the "scooters"
