Tonight, we delve into the extraordinary life of a man who wasn’t just a racing legend but an icon of human spirit and determination.

Through the lens of Netflix's highly anticipated miniseries, we’ll explore the meteoric rise, relentless drive, and untamed passion of Ayrton Senna—one of Formula 1's greatest champions.

Born in Brazil, a land of contrasts and dreams, Senna’s journey was nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece. From his humble beginnings on the karting tracks of São Paulo to his three world championships and the unforgettable rivalries that defined an era, Ayrton's story is as exhilarating as the circuits he conquered.

But beyond the roar of the engines, the glitz of podiums, and the iconic yellow helmet, there was a man. A man who carried the weight of a nation, who raced with his heart as much as his skill, and whose life ended too soon, leaving a legacy that transcends sport.

This is more than a story about speed and victory; it’s a tale of resilience, faith, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

And joining us tonight to help break down the miniseries episode by episode and dissect its most pivotal moments is our most-returnest guest co-host William “Big Money” Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace, along with Professor Jon Summers, the Motoring Historian.
