Random(G) or PseudoRandom(G) http://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/doc/htm/ref/CHAP028.htm#SECT006
PseudoRandom is much faster if you have a huge number of moved points in a permutation group or a big matrix group. I don't really know what the limits of the regular Random function are, but it takes a very long time to find a Random element of the Lyons group in its 111-dimensional representation over F5.
