Race Planet auction: everything from karts to red double-decker bus to be sold

Race Planet in Amsterdam has closed after over thirty years of business due to rising costs and sustainability challenges. A wide array of items from the facility, including go-karts and a red double-decker bus, are now being sold via an online auction ending November 21.

After more than thirty years of operation, the family business Bleekemolens Race Planet in the Westpoort area of Amsterdam has officially closed its doors. The decision to cease activities was driven by rising costs and the inability to implement further sustainability improvements at the facility, which also hosted activities like bowling and laser gaming. Staff members completed the final laps at the site last week.

To clear the premises, an online auction is currently underway featuring a wide range of items collected by the owners over the decades. Available lots include go-karts, catering equipment, vintage fuel pumps, and a distinctive red British double-decker bus that once served as a party venue. Co-owner Sebastiaan Bleekemolen noted that the auction represents an emotional farewell for his family. Interested bidders have until Saturday, November 21 at 12:00 PM to place their offers on these unique pieces of the center's history.
