We’re thrilled to announce a new Williams Racing Collectibles+ collection, Cosmos. Available exclusively to Grid Pass holders, holding this limited edition profile picture (PFP) unlocks eligibility to enter our second annual Rear Wing Takeover Contest.
The Cosmos collection
We have airdropped 100,000 free digital collectibles from the Williams Racing Cosmos collection to Grid Pass holders. The collection was conceptualized and brought to life by the talented lead artist for DeGods and y00ts: Candy Apple.
The collection features over 130 unique traits integrated with iconic Williams Racing branding across 10 different character types, ranging from cats to dragons to krakens.

What is a Grid Pass?
At the 2023 Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix, Williams Racing and Kraken introduced Grid Pass, an all-access digital collectible that unlocked perks for pass holders. At the 2023 Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix, pass holders competed to have their digital collectible featured on the rear wing of Williams Racing’s F1 cars during a live race, visible to the entire world.
The lead-up to the race included community activation with dozens of digital collection fandoms and over 1,000 individual submissions. After narrowing the field, tens of thousands of votes were cast to select the winners.
Over the past year, Kraken has hosted several Williams Racing Fan Zones, where fans who signed up for the Williams Racing Collectibles+ Program have claimed exclusive access to discounts to merchandise, driver meetups and more using their Grid Pass.
