The world of motorsport and Web3 are converging in an exciting new collaboration between McLaren Racing and OKX. With the launch of Race Rewind — a dynamic digital collectibles campaign — fans are being invited to experience Formula 1 like never before. This initiative isn't just about collecting digital artifacts; it's about deepening fan engagement, unlocking exclusive real-world experiences, and redefining how sports communities interact in the digital age.
Web3: A New Frontier for Fan Engagement
From the roar of engines in Monaco to the high-speed drama of Miami, Formula 1 captivates millions around the globe. While race weekends draw massive live audiences, even more fans follow the action remotely — through broadcasts, social media, and highlight reels. The challenge? How to bring that same adrenaline-pumping energy to fans watching from afar.
Enter Web3. As a next-generation internet framework built on blockchain technology, Web3 enables deeper interactivity, true digital ownership, and community-driven experiences. Through OKX’s advanced crypto wallet and NFT marketplace, McLaren Racing is now delivering authentic moments from the track directly into the hands of fans — not as static images, but as immersive digital collectibles rich with sound, motion, and emotion.

Introducing 'Race Rewind': Relive Every Moment
Race Rewind captures the intensity of each Grand Prix through limited-edition digital collectibles. These aren’t just digital souvenirs — they’re interactive mementos that preserve pivotal moments: the screech of tires during a tight overtake, the tension-filled radio chatter from the pit wall, or the thunderous shift of gears down the straight.
The first drop commemorates the Canadian Grand Prix and is available for free minting via the OKX app. No gas fees. No hidden costs. Fans can claim their piece of F1 history between Friday and Monday (June 7–10, 2025, 10:00 AM GMT). On Tuesday, each collectible will be randomly assigned a rarity tier: Classic, Rare, or Ultra Rare.
Each tier unlocks increasingly exclusive rewards:
- Classic: Digital memorabilia and community recognition
- Rare: Signed merchandise from the McLaren Racing team
- Ultra Rare: Premium race-day experiences, including VIP tickets and meet-and-greets
But the real prize lies in completion.
The Ultimate Reward: Build the Full Collection
Formula 1 is a season-long spectacle — and so is Race Rewind. To mirror the sport’s enduring appeal, OKX and McLaren are incentivizing fans to mint a digital collectible after every race this season.
Collect every NFT across the 2025 calendar and become eligible for the VIP Fan Experience — an all-inclusive package featuring:
- A hot lap around a live F1 circuit
- $2,500 travel and accommodation stipend
- VIP access to a future McLaren Racing event
This isn’t just a prize draw — it’s a fan-first experience designed for those who live and breathe every twist, turn, and pit stop of the season.
And here’s the best part: fans who mint the Canadian GP collectible will automatically receive retroactive drops from earlier races — including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, China, Miami, Emilia-Romagna, and Monaco.

Expanding OKX’s Global Footprint
While Race Rewind marks a major leap in fan engagement, it’s also part of a broader mission: making crypto and Web3 accessible worldwide.
OKX has recently expanded its regulated exchange services across Europe through MiCA passporting from Malta, launching fully compliant platforms in France, Spain, Germany, and Poland. These rollouts reflect a commitment to security, transparency, and regulatory alignment — ensuring users can trade with confidence.

OKX Pay: Bridging Crypto and Everyday Life
Beyond collectibles and exchanges, OKX is building tools for real-world utility. With the launch of OKX Pay, we’re introducing a seamless crypto payment solution integrated directly into the OKX app. Designed for over 100 million global users, this sub-app enables fast, secure transactions in select markets — with plans for global rollout in the coming months.
It’s a step toward mainstream adoption — where digital assets aren’t just held or traded, but spent.
A New Era for Crypto and Web3 Innovation
As we enter new markets — from Europe to America — our vision remains clear: to empower users with secure, innovative, and accessible Web3 experiences. Whether it’s through fan-driven NFT campaigns like Race Rewind, regulated trading platforms, or next-gen payment solutions, we’re building the infrastructure for a decentralized future.
The partnership with McLaren Racing is more than a sponsorship — it’s a shared belief in community, innovation, and pushing boundaries. Just as F1 teams optimize every millisecond on track, we’re optimizing every interaction in the digital realm.
