   −
He started playing Mario Kart when he was 9, playing [[Mario Kart Super Circuit]] and [[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]]. When [[Mario Kart DS]] came out in Europe, he decided to start time trialing in it together with his friends [[Fabio Sacco]], [[Iacopo Sorce]] and [[Ludovico Vittorio]].
+
He joined the Player's Page in 2005, when he started playing [[Mario Kart DS]].
 +
He managed to claim a WR on Baby Park fast lap in March 2006; after that, he managed to climb up to the Top 20, joining the Top 10 a few times. Since 2007, he has been playing sporadically, but he has never really retired; in fact, Nicola is still in the Top 15.
 +
In 2010, he got back the Baby Park WR he set four years before, taking it from [[Fabio Sacco]], as he did in 2006; this is his second and last WR.
   −
He has been a mid-level player for much time, even if he got a WR in the first months (Baby Park fast lap; he was the first to sub 8"400). When he decided to spend a lot of his free time on time trialing at the start of 2007, he quickly climbed up the charts, getting in top 10 at the start of 2008. After that strong period, he didn't play as much as before because meanwhile he started to attend a school that takes more than 1 minute each day of homework, but he still managed to get good PRs to keep his position.
+
Nicola has also played competetively other Mario Karts; he has reached Top 100 in [[Mario Kart 64]], being one of the first competitive players to play using the Virtual Console's game version. He has also sporadically played [[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]], [[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]], [[Super Mario Kart]] and [[Mario Kart Wii]]; he plans to get strong timesheets on all of them, but for now nothing happened (maybe because italians are lazy people...?).
−
He has made a quick comeback in August 2009, getting many Top 10 PRs. He is currently ranked #13.

Nicola has also played competetively other Mario Karts; he has reached Top 100 in [[Mario Kart 64]], being one of the first competitive players to play using the Virtual Console's game version. He has expressed an interest in joining Super Mario Kart Time Trials in the future, when it will be released on the Virtual Console in Europe; he has played Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario Kart Double Dash!! and [[Mario Kart Wii]], but he never tried to play them competitively, except for a very few tracks (he managed to hit a Non-Glitch WR on Mario Kart Super Circuit).
      
Other than karting, he is also a well-known poster on the Message Board, and he often visits IRC chan #mariokart.
