An exclusive series of 2,000 ads to a VIP mailing list of the two most important magazines in the country. Each ad had a real handwritten autograph by Fittipaldi plus a greeting with the name of each reader.
It also included an exclusive code that allowed the reader watch a video of the exact moment Fittipaldi signed his magazine. And for his surprise, he greets the reader by the name on each video too.
