In what is the biggest race meeting since the 1970s, Hobart’s Baskerville Raceway will come alive with motorsports fanatics from the 4-5 October for the annual Historics race meeting.
Jointly organised by the MG Car Club and Hobart Sporting Car Club, 204 entries have registered for the
weekend-long event, with ten per cent of those entries being from interstate.
The highlight will be a field of over 30 early model Holdens running at once, which will see a field of FJ, FX and
FC Holdens converge on the circuit, and spectators will even have the opportunity to walk the grid and check
out the cars.
Program highlights include the ‘Muscle Car Cup’, which will see Bathurst racers from the 60s and 70s back on
the track and fighting for glory in their classic Toranas, GT Falcons and Mustangs. There will also be minis and
historic motorbikes on the track.
