A visit to the camp of Rallye Breslau 2026 in Żagań, Poland, evening after the 4th leg of the race

Jul 1, 2026 7:54 PM

The people rescue crew is ready.

The green Dutch town complete with integrated bar, garage, and own support vehicle.

But why? I have no idea.

Not everything made it in one piece.

The cutest camper of the camp.

There were many more Unimogs, but many are switching to more civilian Mercedes models for their camper needs.

Salvage crew icon.

More orga vehicles.

Take one part Mercedes G (engine), one part old military Volvo (rear axle assembly), add custom everything else, and here she is. Truly nothing like it in the race.

A rare inside view.

Gotta start them early.

AFAIK, the only 8x8 truck competing. Everyone else prefers fewer axles that need to be powered.

This one is biodegradable (also biodegraded here and there).

What? Just my Nissan daily.

#6 that's an H1 Alpha. It has a 6.6L Duramax diesel and 6 speed Allison automatic transmission. They still fetch around $300k-$350k here in the US. That's one spendy pickup camper.

Also, it does gallons to the mile. That was the funny part to me. You can go camping almost anywhere... but not too far away due to fuel concerns.

Was this a stage rally or more like a rally raid? Either way I bet it was a blast :D

They do multiple legs around one area, then move for the remainder to another area. The stages are around 100km or longer, mainly routed through military training areas in cooperation with the Polish military. This year they started near Drawsko Pomorskie (prologue + 4 stages), and are finishing near Żagań (4 stages over two days). This is literally Dakar training for some competitors.
