Team Obsolete is pleased to announce our sponsorship of AMA Superbike race winner Dale Quarterley on an original 1959 Matchless G50 for the 2023 season. Between his schedule contesting the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series, Dale will race the G50 #1708 at selected vintage events across the US.
This G50 is the sibling to #1709 (which carried Dave Roper to win the 1984 Historic TT at the Isle of Man) and has been raced by Team Obsolete since 1989, winning races in the UK, Europe and the US, most notably the very first Brands Hatch Super Prix.
Originally built by Team Obsolete as the ultimate incarnation of the standard G50, the machine has received a complete overhaul in preparation for this season.
Team Obsolete is sponsored by Vanson Leathers, Avon Tyres, and Red Line Synthetic Oil.
