McLaren Racing and OKX jointly launch the exclusive "Legend Reborn" livery for the Singapore Grand Prix, paying tribute to the MP4 era

On September 19, McLaren Racing and OKX, the leading blockchain technology company and Official Principal Partner of the McLaren F1 Team, unveiled a limited edition “Legend Reborn” livery design that will be used on the McLaren MCL38 F1 car that will race at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.

The “Legend Reborn” livery was designed by McLaren and OKX to pay tribute to McLaren’s iconic MP4 era (1981-1996). Widely regarded as one of the greatest F1 cars ever built, the MP4 series showcased a true spirit of innovation, a quality that both brands value. The livery pays homage to the team’s illustrious history by fusing elements of the MP4 era with McLaren’s iconic papaya orange colour.

Legend Reborn was unveiled at an exclusive trackside event in Singapore, attended by OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown and McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

The livery also pays homage to McLaren legends, including Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Niki Lauda, who drove and helped create the iconic era of the MP4, with the names of 13 iconic drivers from that era incorporated into the cockpit livery.

The collaboration between McLaren and OKX is focused on innovation and an enhanced fan experience, and Legend Reborn uses McLaren’s heritage as a springboard to evoke a unique sense of nostalgia and bring McLaren to the wider racing community.

The Legend Reborn livery follows the Senna tribute livery unveiled at the Monaco Grand Prix earlier this year – ‘McLaren Senna presented by OKX’.

Louise McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer, McLaren Racing said: “It’s fantastic to be working with OKX to bring our third bespoke livery back to Singapore. ‘Legend Reborn’ is a great way to celebrate and honour our iconic history, uniting fans old and new. Following on from this year’s Senna campaign, this livery further reflects our partnership with OKX as we continue to deliver unique brand stories for fans of both brands around the world.”

Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer of OKX, said: "We share McLaren's belief in the power of persistence and innovation. This year, we launched some of our own upgrades, including a complete revamp of the wallet, which will make the on-chain world more accessible to people around the world. We believe that, like F1, cryptocurrency can be disrupted by a visionary team who are fearless in innovation and have a "challenger" mentality. Now is a new era that replaces the established hierarchy, and Legend Reborn encourages us to look to the past for inspiration as we chart a new course for the future. ”
