We are delighted to announce a new Williams Racing Collectibles+ collection, Cosmos. Available exclusively to Grid Pass holders, ownership of this limited edition profile picture (PFP) will enter you into our second annual Rear Wing Takeover Competition.
The Cosmos Collection
We sent 100,000 Williams Racing Cosmos digital collectibles to Grid Pass holders for free. The collection was conceptualized and implemented by DeGods and y00ts’ talented lead artist: Candy Apple.
The collection features over 130 unique traits incorporated into the iconic Williams Racing brand across 10 different character types, ranging from cats to dragons to krakens.
Rear Wing Rebuild Competition
Cosmos owners can submit their PFP for consideration to be added to the rear wing of Williams Racing’s FW46 challengers and displayed at the 2024 Formula 1 Pirelli United States Grand Prix in Austin, TX on October 20, 2024.

What is a Grid Pass?
At the 2023 Lenovo Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, Williams Racing and Kraken introduced Grid Pass, an all-access digital collectible that unlocked benefits for pass holders. At the 2023 Lenovo Formula 1 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, viewable by the world.
The race was preceded by a community mobilization with dozens of digital collection fandoms and over 1,000 individual entries. After narrowing down 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 enrolled in the Williams Racing Collectibles+ program have gained exclusive access to discounts on merchandise, driver meet-and-greets and more using their Grid Pass.
