Schumacher's kart track saved from demolition
The karting track owned by Michael Schumacher is set for a revamp, and has been saved from being demolished after a new lease was agreed.
www.planetf1.comRecent public updates suggest the Michael Schumacher Kart & Event Center in Kerpen is still operating and running events, with 2026 championship sessions advertised and race-track activity visible on the venue’s social pages.[7][8][10]
A few concrete news points stand out:
- The track was reported as saved from demolition and set for renovation after a new lease agreement, with resurfacing and safety upgrades planned.[1]
- A 2026 update from a karting supplier says the center raised concerns about its barrier system, and testing of replacement barriers has been underway since April 2024.[2]
- Race listings for the venue show scheduled and completed events in 2025, which supports that the facility remains active.[5]
If you want, I can also summarize the latest 2026 event/activity updates for the center in a cleaner timeline.
