Some tracks have a transponder system, but most use a GPS based lap timer device like AIM Solo2, Racelogic vbox, etc. Works everywhere without compatibility issues.

If you are competing a class your track might have a transponder system you can rent out, or your transponder like an aim solo device can be used as per the event rules. If you are just doing it for an open lapping event to keep track of personal lap times you can use anything that suits you, some people like harry's lap timer.

mylaps transponders - I use the X2 from Mylaps. Have it hard wired in - works well, no issues. Their TR2 might be interesting if you plan to take it in and out of the car instead of leaving it.

Yeah I'm using Harry's right now (and it's surprisingly good I'll admit) and I've been renting a transponder for official timing at $20 a day

I have a Mylaps TR2. Holds a charge for along time and you can zip tie it on your front tow hook or grille in 2 min before your first session.
