Mark contemplating of the race ahead - Snetterton 2003

Mark became interested in motorcycling at a very early age. Just a baby, he used to travel around the country to watch his Father (Mick Burr - British Grass-track side-car Champion) race.

It didn't take long for Mark to sit on a motorbike and he couldn't wait until he was old enough to begin racing. His first race being on a Kawasaki KX60 as a schoolboy Moto-crosser, aged 6. Mark progressed through various levels of Moto-x entering at National Level.

Mark then decided he would like to try his hand at Go-Karting, where he finished 2nd in the British Karting Championships.

Karting gave Mark a taste of real speed and in 1996 (aged 16) he had his first ride in the British Superteen Championships - this was the start of his road racing career.
