The Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup arrives at Mallory Park for its inaugural meeting at the Leicestershire track this w🥂eekend and the eighth round of the one-make series.

Current series leader Richard Wren will be looking for a maximum points ha🔯ul at Mallory and extend his thirty-point lead over his ne💟arest rival James Hillier. Last time out at Knockhill, Wren finished second to return home with an extra 20 points and an enviable 30-point advantage.

"I 🍃have raced at Mallory on a few occasions over the past few years and finished in the top three most times," commented Wre🐭n. "With only five meetings remaining it is going to get tougher and tougher especially with the drop score ruling. I'll have to really make sure I get strong results every time."

Winchester-based Hil💖lier, who competes in the one-make series for the second year, saw his points tally bolstered north of 🐻the border two weeks ago. He scored his first-ever R6 Cup win and capitalised on the DNF of former series leader Adam Jenkinson.

Hillier is more than aware of the hard work needed and💟, with one DNF to his♓ name, the 20-year- old will be concentrating on having a flawless remainder of the season.

However, while Wren and Hillier fight it ou🉐t at the top, Mancunian racer Jenkinson will be engaged in a battle of his own. The 20-year old competitor spectacularly crashed out in Scotland a fortnight ago and fractured his pelvis.

Jenkinson has undergone intensive ﷽laser treatment and💯 spent over two hours in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber since the accident.

The determined racer hopes💫 that the treatment will help regain an adequate level of fitness to permit him to ri🐻de at Mallory.

"I don't think I have ever had such a slow🌳 off," said Jenkinson. "I would have been fine but I got caught up with 🥂the bike. I guess I was just unlucky. I have had some intensive treatment and have made a strong recovery so far. As long as I pass my fitness test and can get on the bike, I am going to give it my best shot."
