I'm very disappointed to hear this.
Dropping handout transponders is a real disincentive for new club racers to get involved in the sport.
Expecting them to spend £60+ on an official bug just to race is a needless cost. PT's are not built in the same way and they won't last if they are being constantly plugged and unplugged and stuck down in different cars all day long.
I always felt that a rack of handouts was essential - even if there were only three people using them. Without that rack of handouts, those three people may not have been racing at all.
