Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

On this episode of The Motoring Historian, Jon Summers reunites with Crew Chief Eric from Break/Fix Podcast, and William Ross from The Ferrari Marketplace Podcast to unpack, discuss and celebrate "the greatness" and the legacy of world renowned Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, on this 30 year anniversary of his tragic (and accidental?) passing at Tamburello corner at Italy's Imola circuit. Jon covers Senna's history in racing, the highs as well as the lows, and attempts to answer the question "Is he still... the Greatest of All Time?" (GOAT).
