Tysers Yamaha rider Rory Skinner is aiming to become the youngest ever champion in the 32 year history of the Quattro British Supersport Championship at Donington Park this weekend, less than a week after celebrating his 19th birthday.

The 2018 British Talent Cup champion has won seven of the eight races this year and goes to the Leicestershire circuit with a 73 point advantage over his nearest rival, Tysers Yamaha team-mate Brad Jones.

With 100 points available across the final two race weekends, Skinner, who turned 19 last Sunday (27 September) can secure his first championship in the adult ranks if he scores 27 points or takes one more race across the final two race weekends, at Donington Park or at Brands Hatch in two weeks’ time.

“It’s been a fantastic season for me so far and I am really enjoying riding the Tysers Yamaha R6. I clicked with the bike and the team straight away and that’s reflected in our results,” said Skinner.

“I’m just going to Donington Park with the same approach as every race. With all the delays at the start of the year the season has been squeezed into six weekends over 12 weeks, so there isn’t really much time to dwell on anything. I really enjoy Donington and looking forward to get going.”
