Listen Later

Jon Summers is The Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing, technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. Hailing from California, he collects cars and bikes built with plenty of cheap and fast, and not much reliable. On his show, he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, and motoring travel.

Jon shares his experiences and insights into the world of cars, motorbikes, and racing. He discusses his recent visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the challenges posed by the weather and highlights such as the iconic Metro 6R4 and Hyundai's innovative Ioniq N electric car. Summers also reflects on racing incidents, the complexities of Formula One, including criticisms of Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, and the impact of regulatory safety measures. The conversation expands to other storytelling mediums, touching on films like 'Fast Five' and 'Mission Impossible,' and includes a fun discussion on road trips, favorite music for driving, and anecdotes about vehicles like the F250 pickup truck. The episode concludes with a nod to the shifting landscape of print media in the automotive industry and a quickfire round on various motoring and pop culture topics.
