Luca Barbetta

Luca "The Italian Stallion" Barbetta is a Mario Kart Super Circuit player. He's known as TermoPilucco on the Message Board.

Luca has played some MKDD and MKDS. However, he's best known for his MKSC activity, where he's currently ranked 7th. From the end of 2002 to the beginning of 2006 when the MKSC site was not being updated, Luca was basically the only person on the forum who kept talking about MKSC and who kept playing the game. He's now one of the most helpful staffers in the Mario Kart community, organising accesibility to MKSC strategies. He is also an MKSC updater, and has translated the joining pages of MKDD and MKDS into Italian. Over the years, Luca has helped with TAS runs, strats, working out the 3Stars criteria and making/finding countless videos. He's also one of the first people to really attack RMC1.

Luca is a sociable guy on the forums, and his avatar leaves a lasting impression. In his non-kart time, he is known to enjoy basketball (he's quite tall), and, being Italian, is also a bit of a football fan.
