Remi Kart

Rémi Gaillard has achieved much in his life. From storming the beaches at Normandy, to landing on the moon, to winning the 2002 Coupe De France. However, most of us will remember him for his fine tribute to Mario Kart.

Another YouTube "celebrity" I could just as well do without...

He gained notoriety in 2002 at the finals of the Coupe de France. Disguised as a Lorient player, he celebrated the team's victory with the players, had a handshake with the then French President Jacques Chirac, and signed autographs, without anyone realizing that he wasn't a player on the team.

This is my favourite kind of prank.

I love Rémi. We need more pranksters in our modern world.
