Correct. You'll find the specifics in R2.

Now, the suggestions: First, print a sample out on paper. Then laminate the paper (use a matte finish if you can, those lights are bright down there!). That'll provide some protection for the paper. Attach the number to, not the chassis/drivetrain, but the superstructure. Just to pick on my old team (and one of my best friends), http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24201 is a prime example of this method (as is http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/21476, from the year before). Look at the sponsor labels--those are all laminated paper. Just don't use the same color scheme for the numbers we did, use the current legal one.

I want to say that double-stick tape was involved in the attachment of those labels.
