Burkhard started karting at the age of 5. First on site with a baby go-kart, later at the age of 6 he had his first race at a local karting track. At the Age of 8 he started driving at the Bambini Class A and got his first title in 1999 in the Bambini A Class.

From there he moved on to the junior class with his first attempt at the European Championship 2003 in Portugal. No titles won but the first international competitions are school for life.

At the end in 2003 he made his debut at the 100ccm senior class with winning his first national race, the Graf Berghe von Trips Memorial which is held to honor Mr. von Trips as a result of his fatal crash in Monza.

He won the Jörg van Ommen Championship in 2005 and had his first seat time in a Formula Renault 2.0.

In 2006 he switched back to his manufacturer of choice where it all started. Birel and got manufacturer status pretty fast with a very good opener round of the Tropheo Andrea Margutti finishing 2nd behind Marco Wittmann and winning the race the year after. This is where his attention grew to scouts and he had some pretty decent finishes in the Italian championship throughout the seasons of 2006 and 2007 which led into a partnership with Eifelland Racing (first team of Vettel in the Formula BMW) in the Formula ADAC Masters, now known as Formula 4.
