Career
Birch started karting in 2016 and mainly competed in Rotax Max Challenge Denmark until 2021. During his time in karts, Birch most notably won the 2019 Rotax Max Challenge Denmark in the Mini class.Stepping up to car racing in 2021, Birch competed in the Yokohama 1600 Challenge Denmark for Brian Madsen Sport. In his first season in cars, Birch won race one at the second round of the season at Padborg Park, and with a further win in the penultimate round at Jyllandsringen and seven more podiums, Birch finished runner-up in the standings to Mirel Lovic.
Birch stepped up to the Yokohama SuperCup for 2022, joining GMB Motorsport. After not scoring points in the season-opening Padborg Park round, Birch then went on to win all but two of the remaining 15 races on his way to the title, 18 points ahead of Oliver Rømer.
Returning to GMB Motorsport for 2023, Birch made his debut in Super GT Denmark and also made his GT3 debut, racing in the Le Mans Cup alongside Thomas Andersen. In Super GT, Birch won on his debut at Padborg Park and scored a further win at the third round of the season at Ring Djursland en route to fourth in points. In the latter, Birch won at Spa on track, but was given a ten-second penalty after the race for not slowing down within the required time during a VSC period and thus dropped to eighth.
In 2024, Birch was set to compete in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cups for GMB Motorsport, but the team folded prior to the start of the season. With the collapse of GMB Motorsport, Birch joined Razoon – More than Racing for a dual campaign in the GT2 European Series and ADAC GT4 Germany. In the former, Birch took five podiums across the season, taking a best result of second three times, on his way to third in the Pro-Am standings. In ADAC GT4 Germany, Birch won the season finale at the Hockenheimring and scored two more podiums to finish ninth in points.
Birch returned to Razoon – More than Racing for 2025, stepping up to ADAC GT Masters, whilst also returning to the GT2 European Series. In his first season in ADAC GT Masters, Birch won both races at the Lausitzring on debut, and scored three further podiums to end the year third in the overall standings. During 2025, Birch also won the 6 Hours of Portimão and the 6 Hours of Barcelona for the same team, as well as making one-off appearances in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and the Gulf 12 Hours.
