That is a finely tuned performance car used for ultrahighspeed racing.
Both front corners of the vehicle have that special Airgrip Tape applied to aid in creating drag when cornering at high speed.
While it looks tattered, it is actually designed to degrade as the race proceeds so as to become more effective later in the race, creating more drag late in the race so the car can enter turns at a higher speed, which can mean the difference between winning and losing by hundredths of a second.
This picture was obviously taken just after a race.
