Wyścig Dookoła Mazowsza, Polish Stage Race Car Plaque

This little beauty is from the Polish stage race, the Wyścig Dookoła Mazowsza.  The Dookoła Mazowsza has been held annually since 1951 in Mazoviz, Poland. The most successful rider is Zenon Czechowski, who won the race four times between 1969 and 1972. Since 2005, it has been part of the UCI Europe Tour.  Interestingly, in July 2020, it was the first International UCI race to be held in following the COVID-19 shutdowns.

In the racing of today, the race organizer cars, team vehicles, and other participants of the official race caravan have disposable stickers that are affixed to the windshield. Slipping a bit into the way back machine, there was a time when the cars had plaques that were attached to the front of the follow cars.

As with most things ephemeral, the majority of the plaques were promptly tossed in the trash once the race was finished. The ones that survived have become quite collectible.
