Digital collectibles are revolutionizing the way fans engage with their favorite sports teams and events. The collaboration between OKX and McLaren brings Formula 1® enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own authentic, blockchain-based memorabilia through the Race Rewind collection. This guide answers all your pressing questions about claiming, using, and trading these digital assets—ensuring you don’t miss out on exclusive rewards and experiences.
Whether you're new to Web3 or already familiar with NFTs, this comprehensive resource covers everything from wallet setup to utility redemption, optimized for clarity and search intent.
What Are Digital Collectibles?
Digital collectibles are unique tokens stored on a blockchain, each with distinct metadata that makes them non-fungible and irreplaceable. Unlike traditional digital files, these tokens are verifiably scarce and securely owned by individuals.
In the context of the OKX x McLaren Race Rewind campaign, digital collectibles represent official Formula 1® race moments from the 2024 season. They come in three rarity tiers—Classic, Rare, and Ultra Rare—and serve both as collectible memorabilia and gateways to real-world rewards.

When Are Race Rewind Digital Collectibles Available?
New digital collectibles drop every Formula 1 race weekend:
- Available from: Friday at 10:00 GMT
- Closes on: Monday at 10:00 GMT
This window applies to every race, including special events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix—even though the race schedule differs, the drop timing remains consistent.
If you miss claiming during this period, you can still acquire the collectible via the OKX secondary marketplace. This ensures fans worldwide have a chance to complete their collections.
Benefits of Claiming Race Rewind Digital Collectibles
The Race Rewind collection features 24 digital collectibles, one for each F1 race in 2024. Each has a specific rarity level:
- Classic: Authentic McLaren memorabilia with no direct reward, but essential for completing your season set.
- Rare: Includes access to exclusive merchandise (e.g., caps) and physical experiences.
- Ultra Rare: Offers premium rewards such as signed merchandise and VIP event access.
End-of-Season Reward
At the conclusion of the 2024 season, a final commemorative collectible will be released. To qualify for this drop, you must own at least one collectible of each rarity type from every race. This ultimate NFT includes special prizes reserved only for the most dedicated collectors.
Even if you miss a drop, purchasing missing pieces on the secondary market keeps you eligible.
What Is a Utility (Reward)?
In Web3 terminology, utility refers to real-world benefits tied to an NFT. In the Race Rewind collection:
- Rare and Ultra Rare collectibles contain redeemable utilities.
Examples include:
- McLaren-branded apparel
- Signed team merchandise
- Invitations to exclusive fan experiences
These utilities transform digital ownership into tangible value—bridging the gap between virtual collectibles and physical fandom.
How Do I Set Up a Wallet?
To claim or manage your digital collectibles, you need a compatible Web3 wallet. The easiest option is the OKX Wallet, available as:
- A browser extension
- A mobile or web app
OKX Wallet is non-custodial, meaning only you control your assets. No third party—including OKX—can access your wallet or its contents. All digital collectibles are stored securely on-chain.
Setting up takes minutes:
- Download the OKX Wallet app or install the browser extension.
- Create a secure password and back up your recovery phrase.
- Connect your wallet to the OKX platform.
Once set up, you can claim, view, and manage your Race Rewind collectibles seamlessly.

How Do I Redeem My Collectible’s Utility?
Redemption is simple:
- Go to your OKX dashboard and navigate to your McLaren collectibles.
- Click “Redeem” on the eligible NFT.
- Fill out the pop-up form with your details.
You can redeem multiple utilities at once.
Important Notes:
- After redemption, your original NFT is replaced with a version labeled "utility claimed."
- This new NFT remains tradable but cannot be used to claim rewards again.
- Physical prizes are shipped via DHL with SMS tracking updates.
- Experience winners will be contacted via email at [email protected].
How Can I Check My Collectible’s Rarity?
Each digital collectible displays a rarity badge indicating whether it's:
- Classic
- Rare
- Ultra Rare
You can view this directly in your OKX Wallet or on the OKX NFT marketplace dashboard.
Where Are My Collectibles Stored?
Your Race Rewind NFTs are stored on-chain within your connected Web3 wallet. You must either:
- Create an OKX Wallet
- Or link another compatible non-custodial wallet
Since ownership is decentralized, you are fully responsible for securing your wallet and recovery phrase. Losing access means losing your assets permanently.
When Must I Redeem My Utility?
All utilities must be claimed within three weeks of the end of the race weekend drop period (i.e., by Monday at 10:00 GMT + 21 days).
After this window:
- The utility becomes void.
- The NFT is stamped to reflect redemption status.
- Trading remains possible, but no further rewards can be claimed.
This prevents duplicate redemptions and maintains fairness across the community.
What If I Can’t or Don’t Want to Use My Reward?
If you choose not to redeem your utility:
- You can sell your NFT on the OKX marketplace.
- Listing is free; you set your own price.
- Even after the redemption deadline, Rare and Ultra Rare NFTs remain tradable—though their utility expires.
This flexibility allows collectors to monetize unused rewards while staying engaged with the ecosystem.
How Do I Trade or Sell My Digital Collectible?
Selling your NFT is straightforward on the OKX NFT marketplace:
- Connect your wallet.
- Navigate to your Race Rewind collectible.
- Select “Sell” and choose pricing options (fixed price or auction).
- Confirm the transaction.
Your NFT becomes available to global buyers instantly.

What If I Missed the Drop?
If you didn’t claim during the Friday–Monday window:
- You can still buy the collectible on the OKX secondary market.
- This is crucial if you’re aiming for the end-of-season reward, which requires a full set of 24 races across all rarities.
Don’t worry—missing one drop doesn’t disqualify you from completing your collection.
Why Is the Drop Window Limited?
OKX and McLaren reserve the right to pause or close drops early under exceptional circumstances, such as:
- Sudden spikes in blockchain gas fees
- Network congestion
- Security concerns
This protects users from high transaction costs and ensures a smooth experience for all fans.
