Race Planet Amsterdam in Westpoort closed after more than 30 years, with staff driving the final laps the previous Sunday. The Bleekemolen family business said the site was no longer expected to be profitable because of sharply higher costs and limited scope for further sustainability improvements.

Much of the venue's inventory is being sold through an online auction, including karts, seating areas, catering equipment, petrol pumps and a British red double-decker bus. Bids can be placed until Saturday 21 November at noon.
