The original question being about regulations, when circling fast do the rules permit staying inside by, say, banking at 24 degrees instead of 20?
I would say by FAA rules no, if above category airspeed you must use higher category minima.
But by EASA rules yes, you are required only to maintain visual contact, at or above MDA, and stay in the protected area. How you do it is your business, within the bounds of responsible airmanship.

Of course I expect some readers to have strong opinions how far this kind of action could be taken and remain "responsible" ...
