Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to save changes because a circular dependency was detected in the data to be saved

I’m attempting to do this:

class Car
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Producer { get; set; }
    public string Model { get; set; }
    public int Year { get; set; }

    public int? OwnerId { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("OwnerId")]
    public Person Owner { get; set; }
}

// Can have many cars but one active car
class Person
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("ActiveCarId")]
    public Car ActiveCar { get; set; }
    [InverseProperty("Owner")]
    public ICollection<Car> OwnedCars { get; set; }
}

//Usage

using (var dbContext = new AppDbContext())
{
    var person = new Person()
    {
        Name = "Captain",
        Surname = "Morgan",
        ActiveCar = new Car()
        {
            Producer = "Super Cars",
            Model = "XXX",
            Year = 2018
        }
    };

    person.ActiveCar.Owner = person;

    dbContext.People.Add(person);
    int numAffected = dbContext.SaveChanges();
    if (numAffected == 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Something went wrong during saving");
    }

}

Results in:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to save changes because a circular dependency was detected in the data to be saved: ‘Person [Added] <- Owner { ‘OwnerId’ } Car [Added] <- ActiveCar { ‘ActiveCarId’ } Person [Added]’.

Is this possible somehow?

Expected result:

Save entities in multiple SaveChanges.
