Default What is this sticker behind my front plates

Ok, I will try here first since this is a Canadian car. I was detailing the front of my 2014 911S when I noticed some red beside the front plate holder. I take it off and here is a big sticker behind it. Seems that whoever PPF this car they went right over it. This is a PCO car bought in Vaughn, it just expired.
Can anyone tell what this is? I did google lens but it came up with nothing.

Your car was either tracked heavily or (more likely) owned by someone with terrible taste who put a bunch of 'racing inspired' decals all over the car.

The fact that they put PPF over a piece of that decal is also extremely budget. That isn't a good thing.

The official IMSA decals which are required for any IMSA sanctioned racing are significantly smaller than that, just a couple of inches, so thats really a fan-boy sticker

Also for someone to put this sticker on in that location it would have to be in a province that didn't require front plates.

To bad you can't go back to dealer where you bought the car and have them fix it properly. It could be that whoever installed the ppf tried to remove the whole sticker before installing the ppf and the paint started peeling, so they just decided to leave the sticker on there, or they were just really terrible at their job. Either way that is a terrible ppf job. I feel bad for you.
Look at the Carfax and see where the car has been registered before you got it.

Oh I'm doing just that...I'm starting with the sales person...but he's not returning my call, I did send him a picture. Carfax I got with the car is clean. I just ordered a vehicle history report from MTO to see if its been in Ontario all its life. I have the whole maintenance history printed from new but it does not say which dealer did the work, just an RO number.

That's it but its been trimed to fit behind the plate, about the right size. So the car had to be in another province at one point, why would you place a sticker in that location

Because the user would remove the front plate during track use to show the sticker and cover it with the plate during road use.
