13-year-old Myles Burton is competing in Junior Rotax with EBC pads
13-year-old kart racer, Myles Burton, is currently competing in the Junior Rotax category for 2026.
Burton is utilising EBC Brakes’ Green Kart Pads for the season.
Following an extremely successful round at Whilton Mill, Burton next found himself at the all-new Kart Silverstone track – a cutting-edge facility based inside the iconic F1 circuit – for the RMC National Trophy Silverstone.
Read how he got on in his team’s words below…
“This was our first race weekend at the new Kart Silverstone.
“Kart Silverstone is the newest and most impressive facility on the British karting calendar. The 1,377 metre circuit opened in autumn 2025 and holds CIK-FIA International grade status. Designed with input from former Formula 1 drivers David Coulthard and Anthony Davidson, it is a predominantly sweeping, European-style layout with a tight final sector that tests every aspect of a driver’s ability. The wide surface opens up multiple racing lines and overtaking opportunities throughout.
“It was a frustrating weekend with the pace to fight at the front.”
Qualifying
“Quali saw some technical issues which stopped 20 drivers from going on to the track and setting a time.”
Heat 1
“P26 – P10.”
Heat 2
“P26 – P14 (OTR): I was taken out at the start but managed to have a decent recovery.”
Super Heat
“P12 – P16: I was taken out again at the start along with multiple other drivers.”
Final
“P29 – P17: a very scrappy final, making as much progress as we could with the very poor driving standards. Ultimately finishing P17 out of 63 drivers.”
