Overview
- Jean Pierre Kraemer announced the conversion of the longtime Rush Hour property into an indoor kart track with an adjoining hotel through his podcast.
- The Rush Hour building was sold to JP Performance in 2024, a sale confirmed by a neighboring business representative.
- Kraemer estimates project costs at about €10–11 million and says it will be funded from his group’s ongoing revenues rather than traditional bank loans.
- A concrete build start is not set, with Kraemer describing a realistic horizon of one to two years pending remaining approvals.
- The planned venue would add a larger-scale kart facility to Dortmund alongside the existing track in Barop and target visitors ranging from motorsport fans to business travelers.
