 Due to the rave reviews received for the inaugural event held in 2009 the Baskerville Historics Meeting  is on again in 2010.  

 As all our sponsors have joined with us again as well as the "Humpy Holden Group" take this opportunity to use the Early Bird discounted Entry Fees. 

For our mainland racers  combine this  with special pricing from the  TT Line and Wrest Point to make this an overseas holiday with some historic racing as a bonus. 

Once again the meeting is being organized by the MG Car Club of Tasmania.  Baskerville Race Circuit is located only 20 minutes from Hobart . Having Celebrated its 50th Anniversary in February 2008 it is the oldest continuously operating circuit in Australia. Being a tight 7-Turn 2 klm circuit designed in the fifties for cars of the era it is ideally suited to classic motor sport.

A Little bit about Hobart

Hobart, Tasmania’s harbourside capital city, is set on the shores of the River Derwent, with the blue bulk of Mt Wellington as a backdrop.

Hobart is a city of sails and sandstone, festivals and flavours – colourful spinnakers on the harbour, fine old 19th century warehouses along Salamanca Place, the fun and music of the waterfront Summer Festival and excellent restaurants highlighting Tasmania’s fine fresh produce.

From Hobart, it’s an easy day tour to the wineries of the Southern Wine Route, to tall forests and national parks or to the nation’s most significant historic site, Port Arthur.
