The circuit was officially opened on 9 February 1958 by then Tasmanian Premier Robert Cosgrove with 20,000 spectators in attendance, and has been operating continuously ever since. Baskerville is the second oldest continuously operating motor racing venue in Australia, with only Mount Panorama being older. ()
