Żagań, Poland, has been a proud and dedicated partner of RBI Sport for many years. Situated in Western Poland near the German border, Żagań's strategic location offers easy access via highways, making it a hub for local drivers and motorsport enthusiasts from Germany, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and the Baltic countries. Known for its challenging terrain and iconic routes from the historic Rallye Breslau, the city boasts a rich motorsport heritage. With its ongoing commitment and exceptional support, Żagań continues to be the perfect host for this premier off-road racing event.

Honouring the legacy of resilience and freedom that Żagań represents.

In March 1944, in Żagań, Poland, a remarkable chapter of World War II history unfolded. At Stalag Luft III, a German POW camp, a group of Allied airmen orchestrated an audacious escape plan. Through months of digging, they secretly constructed a 110 -meter tunnel, nicknamed "Harry," right under the guards’ noses. On the night of March 24, 76 men made their way through the tunnel in hopes of reaching freedom. Though most were eventually recaptured, three succeeded, making their way to safety.

The Museum of POW Camps in Żagań continues to honour their spirit and sacrifice.

This daring escape later inspired the classic film The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, and others in memorable roles.
