Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Recording the thrill the driver experiences when driving the TOYOTA 86. We have created a system to spread out the stylish and exciting characteristic of a sports car. One of most exciting moments when driving a sports car is turning a corner with absolute precision and perfect control. If such a moment can be captured and recorded, the driver can relive that moment again and again. We developed "Cornering Ecstasy". It is a sensor-controlled camera system to record sequential shots of the driver turning a corner.
