Glenn Freeman reveals a new podcast diving into motorsport history from the dawn of racing to now.

This bonus episode introduces a new podcast from The Athletic's motorsport network, hosted by Glenn Freeman with guests Matt Bishop and Richard Williams. Freeman explains this show expands beyond the V10-era Formula 1 focus of "Bring Back V10s." The new podcast, titled "And Colossally, That's History," will cover all of motorsport history from its dawn to the present. The name originates from Murray Walker's iconic commentary line, "And colossally, that's Mansell," during Nigel Mansell's 1992 British Grand Prix victory. Matt Bishop, a former F1 communications chief, and Richard Williams, a renowned sports journalist, will host the series. The podcast aims to explore stories beyond Formula 1, including other racing series and deeper historical periods. It will address listener requests for topics like 1970s DFV engines and 1980s turbo eras. Freeman notes the show has already been promoted on the "Bring Back V10s" social media accounts. A key insight is the direct link between the podcast's creative title and a specific, memorable moment in broadcasting history. The episode suggests the show will satisfy fans who crave discussions predating the V10 era's typical 1989-2005 focus. The hosts emphasize that the scope includes the entire timeline of motorsport, not just Formula 1. Freeman positions this as a natural extension for listeners who already enjoy historical F1 content. The tone is promotional, conversational, and enthusiastic, framed as a direct address to the existing "Bring Back V10s" audience. The style is introductory and explanatory, clearly outlining the new show's concept and origins. This episode is ideal for dedicated motorsport history enthusiasts and existing fans of "Bring Back V10s" seeking broader historical content. Listeners solely interested in modern Formula 1 or the specific V10 era might find the preview less relevant.
