AfterTheRace
AFTER THE RACE is a duo born out of true friendship. A friendship between Jean-Denis Claessens and Edmond Thonnard (aka Pogo). Jean-Denis is a graphic designer, skilled entrepreneur and, since childhood, fond of cars. Pogo is a versatile painter and artist, with vast experience in street art.
These two Belgians are proud to make this unique product together. The techniques they employ are innovative, bold and quirky.
Legendary GT40:
The Ford GT40 was more than just a car. It was developed at the behest of Hendry Ford and had to and would become successful to get revenge on Ferrari. Ford was in negotiations to take over Ferrari and was unexpectedly turned down by Enzo Ferrari as Ferrari turned out to be sold to FIAT. The GT40 had some problems in the early years, but from 1966 the car was in top form and won LeMans 4 times in a row.
