This year's Brazilian Grand Prix Formula 1 event is set to be extraordinary, thanks to a special tribute being prepared by OKX for the sport's greatest idol, Ayrton Senna.
The crypto exchange, an official partner of McLaren Racing, has created the OKX Race Club for motorsport enthusiasts in São Paulo. This dedicated fan zone is located at the iconic B32 building on Faria Lima Avenue, easily recognizable by its prominent whale sculpture.
From October 31 to November 3, 2024, motorsport fans in São Paulo can experience an immersive celebration dedicated to Brazil's racing legend.
Historic McLaren Exhibit at OKX Race Club
On October 31st, attendees will have the unique opportunity to see the MP4/5B race car up close. This was the machine Senna drove to secure his second world championship title in 1990.
Throughout the event, visitors will also see McLaren's 2024 Formula 1 car adorned in green and yellow livery, replicating the special Monaco Grand Prix tribute to the iconic Brazilian driver earlier this year.
Emerson Fittipaldi to Open Celebrations
The OKX Race Club will be opened by two-time F1 world champion and McLaren ambassador Emerson Fittipaldi. Best of all, admission is completely free with registration.
The partnership between OKX and McLaren Racing extends beyond the track with innovative Web3 technologies. Event participants will have the chance to engage in interactive activities including racing simulators and exclusive giveaways.
The Director of OKX in Brazil, Guilherme Sacamone, stated: "This fan zone celebrates Senna's legacy and demonstrates OKX's deep connection with Brazil. Senna redefined what was possible in motorsport, offering a new alternative to what fans expected from racing. At OKX, we draw inspiration from his spirit, seeking to provide Brazilians with a 'new alternative' in financial freedom through innovative products and services specifically designed for their needs."
