With respect to your question about the transponder...if you mount it properly, every lap you drive during the event will be timed and a printout of each lap will be posted in Garage 2.
Generally, for temporary transponder installations, we recommend using one of the license plate mounting holes. A bracket that will hold the transponder and allow you to mount it in one of these holes will optionally be provided with your rental. Just unscrew one of your existing license plate screws, screw in the bracket on top of your plate, place the transponder in and secure with the supplied hitch pin. Note that it's wise to also throw a piece of sturdy tape over the entire assembly as the threads that take the license plate screw are just plastic on some cars.
P.S. As of this evening there is a wait list for transponders. Don't fret quite yet...some drivers may cancel and worst case POC will probably rent you one.
