Bring Back V10s World Cup: We decide the best race of the V10 era!
6/11/20261 hr 15 min
Bring Back V10s has World Cup fever! With the help of our members, we put together a tournament featuring 32 of the best races from 1989 to 2005, and in this episode you'll hear Edd Straw, Matt Beer and Ben Anderson debate the tournament from the last 16 all the way to the final. The twist? Host Glenn Freeman has the power to deploy a veto once per round if he disagrees with the selection made by the panel!
So get ready to hear Edd pushing too hard for races from 1993, Glenn being torn over how far to push Jerez 1997, Ben basing far too many of his decisions on what happened to Damon Hill in any given race, and Matt saying something nice about Nigel Mansell!
But which race will be declared the overall winner of the Bring Back V10s World Cup?

[upbeat music] What's the best race of F1's V10 era? It's a question we've tackled in passing from time to time on Bring Back V10s, but we figured it was time to come up with the definitive answer. And what better way to do that than to jump on the World Cup fever bandwagon? So welcome to the Bring Back V10's World Cup: Best Race Edition. As always, I'm your host, Glenn Freeman. And to help us get through this grueling tournament featuring 32 of the best F1 races from 1989 to 2005, we have Ed Straw, Ben Anderson, and Matt Beer. [upbeat music] Here's how it works. Uh, we came up with a list of 32 races, taking four suggestions each, uh, from us and from our producer, Johnny. We then had the remaining 12 slots filled out by suggestions from the Race Members Club to give us eight groups of four, just like the World Cup had until this year's edition, where they've added more teams and completely would've ruined our format. Ma- um, oh. Matt, Ben, and Ed then had to score each race in the groups from four to one, with the highest-scoring races progressing into the last 16 knockout round. We've done a full rundown of the group stage results
