Razlan Razali, PSRT Team Principal 

PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team has always looked into new ways of engaging with our fans and bringing to market unique fan-focused offerings. We are looking forward to our new venture into the digital space with GPNFT which allows our legacy and achievements to be created into bespoke NFTs and fans can now own key pieces of the team as collectibles. Obviously, this is a limited period offering with the team in its final year of operating so the NFTs will only be available for a limited time.

Never mind that, what’s an NFT?

An NFT is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files.

Access to any copy of the original file, however, is not restricted to the buyer of the NFT. While copies of these digital items are available for anyone to obtain, NFTs are tracked on blockchains to provide the owner with a proof of ownership that is separate from copyright.
