Depends very much on your track size and layout.
Recommended minimum lap for national event is 130m. So if you want to mark both sides of that circuit exclusively, so you have islands between live lanes of track, then much more than double lap distance, so in that case at least 300m+ of pipe for a minimum length track.
However a pipe barrier might not be exclusive to one length of track, there maybe live track either side of a given section of pipe barrier, so then you would get away with less maybe 250m.
If you go for the small bore pipe tied to large bore pipe to make forgiving barriers, thats double again. Good track maybe longer than minimum length and making markers exclusive to each lane.... you could easy eat up 800m of pipe.
My answer (not on a postcard) 250m to 800m depending on how you lay it.
If I was costing it up I'd draw a sketch plan of the track marking to a rough scale and work it out. Something like
