    I am not sure i am right here:
    I want to put my race results on the ground like on the screenshot, alternative on a plane which is transparent on the ground.
    Anybody can point me to a start?

    UI text on worldspace? Or what i am looking for?

    Yes sure.
    When my race has ended i have a simple panel with UI text where the results are. (See screenshot)

    I am looking for a way to draw/show this text on the ground in front of the player camera.

    While you could absolute create a World Space Canvas, for what you are describing, I'd use some sort of text object directly in the world. Under the "Game Objects" -> "3D Object" menu, you'll find "TextMeshPro - Text" (if you've installed the TMP package), and "3D Text". Choose the one you like, position it to taste, and hook it up to some sort of script that'll set your text. Done :)
