Baskerville Historics

Baskerville Historics is more than a motorsport event, it’s a celebration of the culture, passion, and history behind the cars and the track itself. It draws people from all walks of life who share a love for automotive history, and it offers the rare experience of watching these vehicles in action. As a fundraiser for Baskerville Raceway, the event helps to ensure that this historic venue can continue operating and remain a cornerstone of Tasmanian motorsport.

​

Each year, the Baskerville Historics brings together a vibrant mix of racing, heritage, and community spirit, reinforcing Tasmania’s role in preserving and celebrating Australia’s motorsport legacy.

Key Attractions

​

Vintage and Classic Cars:

The main attraction is the incredible variety of cars, including rare models and meticulously restored race cars from past eras. Each car represents a different part of racing history, and the sight of them all on the track is a true celebration of motorsport heritage.

​

Competitive Races and Demonstrations:

While many of the vehicles are competing, others are there for exhibition laps, where they can be appreciated at high speeds without the pressures of a competitive race. Demonstration laps from special guest drivers often add an extra element of excitement.

​

Community and Club Involvement:

The event is a significant gathering for Tasmania’s car clubs and racing community. Car clubs from across Tasmania and mainland Australia bring their members to participate and engage with fellow enthusiasts, making it a major social occasion.
