Brough Superior wi꧃ll enter the Moto2 class at Silverstone with Luke Mossey competing on board the team's innovative Bri📖tish-designed carbon fibre machine.

The project is headed by California-based Brits Paul Taylor and J♎ohn Keogh, who are running the team on behalf of the soon-to-be relaunch💎ed Brough Superior brand, with the Silverstone entry backed by Bennetts.

"There is a lot of romance around Brough Superior and the project 🎀is sure to attract attention around the world, but as much as anything we are just excited to be backing British engineering and design," said Paul Taylor, PR𓄧 and Sponsorship Manager at Bennetts.

"When it was introduced in 2010, we expected Moto2 to be a place for chassis innovation. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case and we're proud t❀o be backing this original design in an otherwise homogenised field.

"Tꦜhere are no results expectations from Luke and the team, we're just thrilled to be flying the flag for Britain. There's no doubt that we are the underdogs, but we like that and hope that the British public will get be🅠hind this exciting project."

The bike, named Carbon 2, has won national level races in the United🍷 States and features a carbon fibre monocoque design. It has received input from Formula One engineers John McQuilliam and Steve Nichols.

Like all bikes on the Moto2 grid, the Brough Superior will be powered by the standard specific💯ation 600cc four-cylinder Honda engine.

Mossey, a front runner in the British Supersport cham♈pionships, has already tested the bike in Amer⭕ica, before giving the 'Carbon 2' a first run out on British soil at Silverstone this week.

The team is planning to undergo one further test, before making its world♛ championship debut at the Northamptonshire circuit on the weekend of 29-31 August.

Mossey said: "I can't wait to race the Bennetts Brough Superior Carbon 2. I've ridden it in California and really like the bike - it reminds me of riding my 250GP bikes. I've done well at Silverstone, it's one of my favourite tracks, so think we can be competitive even though have had less track time than our competitors. Ro🥂ll on August!"

Dubbed the 'Rolls Royce of motorcycl𒅌es', Brough Superiors were rare and expensive machines during their 20 year production run from 1920. Famous for their association with Lawrence of Arabia, Broughs achiev🍰ed numerous race wins and speed records in the 1920s and 1930s.

Tಌhe brand was bought b🗹y British engineer Mark Upham in 2013 and the company has plans to sell its new SS100 model early next year, the first new motorcycles to go on sale wearing the famous name in 75 years.

Upham said: "The Carbon 2 is everything George Brough would want in a motorcycle and I'm sure he and TE Lawrence will be watching from on high and cheering Lu🎶ke on as his namesake rolls out in front of the Britis𒆙h MotoGP fans."
