'''Finn Berger''' is the oldest active member of the community (born in 1952). Despite the fact that he's not one of the most talented karters on the site, he's still one of the most respected players. The reason for his popularity--he finished 2nd in the 2004 Karters Contest--is mainly his great personality on the message board and his very insightful posts.

Finn's main game is [[Mario Kart 64]]. He joined the rankings in the spring of 2003, after having played the game since 1999 (the game he actually bought for his son...). He started a relatively slow but very steady rise on the rankings. His playing philosophy was trying to focus on one track at a time until he reached a satisfying time, before moving on to the next track. With this strategy he never made really big jumps on the rankings. However, his strong point is that he can keep playing almost forever to improve his times very patiently one by one. He saw many young and talented players fly past him on the rankings. In the end he managed to pass back the majority of them, often when the other guy was retired, and Finn kept on playing. This way of playing earned him the nickname "the turtle".

When Finn played a particular track, he always shared his thoughts about the tracks with other players on the message board. By sharing his knowledge, and asking others for their advice and opinions about that track (often about small but very useful details), he often created a discussion that was very valuable and insightful for everyone who needed strategy help on a track.
