Purple Sector
Baskerville Raceway, turn by turn
Baskerville Raceway's 10 turns in order, anticlockwise: each turn's direction, shape and spacing, measured on Purple Sector's mapped route.
Baskerville Raceway’s circuit is 2,010 m, raced anticlockwise, with 10 numbered turns. The numbers follow the Sports Riders Club of Tasmania’s 2025 event map, because no car-racing map numbers the corners, so other events may number them differently. Each turn below has its direction, its shape from Purple Sector’s mapped geometry, and how far it sits from the turns either side.

| T3 | right | roughly right-angle corner, about 75° | 45 m after T2 | 75 m to T4 |
| T4 | left | roughly right-angle corner, about 90°, r ≈ 35 m | 75 m after T3 | 90 m to T5 |
| T5 | left | roughly right-angle corner, about 98° | 90 m after T4 | 70 m to T6 |
| T6 | left | kink, about 23° | 70 m after T5 | 255 m to T7 |
