Summary
Bring Back V10s heads back to 1993 for the final regular episode of Season 12, with an in-depth look at that year's Monaco Grand Prix, which proved a historic one for Ayrton Senna as he took a record-breaking sixth victory in the Principality.
Glenn Freeman is joined by Andrew van de Burgt and 1993 apologist Edd Straw to look back on the big off-track stories making headlines leading into the weekend and the key on-track moments in the race, including a controversial jump-start penalty for Alain Prost, an unlucky retirement for Michael Schumacher, and a wild moment featuring Gerhard Berger, Damon Hill and Michael Andretti. Plus, Glenn, Andrew and Edd discuss whether Senna's record-breaking victory was actually the worst of his six wins in Monaco.

| 0:27.2 | race that Prost still reflects on to this day as one of his low points from what turned out |
| 0:32.4 | to be quite an unhappy season. But this wasn't necessarily one of Senna's vintage Monaco wins, partly because his McLaren |
| 0:39.7 | seemed to have fallen to third in the pecking order, thanks to the emergence of Michael |
| 0:44.4 | Schumacher and Benetton, and partly because of a horrible crash he suffered in practice |
| 0:48.9 | that could easily have threatened his participation in the rest of the event. |

| 1:08.8 | When you think of Monaco 93, what's the first thing that comes to mind? |
| 1:13.1 | Sorry, Alan, but I think of Pross failing to be able to find a biting point on his Williams. |

| 1:22.7 | Ed, listeners in the race members club will know that you are the reason we are currently covering |
