The program is as below. 28.06.2008 - Prolog 29.06.2008 - Erste Etappe in Deutschland 30.06.2008 - Zweite Etappe Grenzübertritt Gubin-Zagan 01.07.2008 - Dritte Etappe Rundkurs Zagan 02.07.2008 - Vierte Etappe Hannibal-Marathon-Etappe 03.07.2008 - Fünfte Etappe kleiner Rundkurs Recz 04.07.2008 - Sechste Etappe grosser Rundkurs Drawsko 05.07.2008 - Siegestetappe - Party It would be nice to know if anybody went there, perhaps we could meet and have a few beers and a chat....

D9OSV Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have always wanted to do this, but always find myself busy or returning from other trips when this event is running. I heard some sad news that this could be the last Dresden Breslow as the organisers are retiring? Does anyone else know about this?

Petergg Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I will be out in Poland at that time, so I may have to make a detour or two. Have they a web site for 2008, as I can only find 2007? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat69 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I heard some sad news that this could be the last Dresden Breslow as the organisers are retiring?Does anyone else know about this? currently it is the last DB in the current format (organiser are retiring as Jim said).

Oilworker Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi there, I am back, or currently on an assignment in the UK. I will be competing in the event and there are a few positions currently open. 2 Mechanics for MAN A new team with a MAN KAT1 V10 Deutz 6x6 is currently seeking 2 qualified MAN (preferably) mechanics for their service crew. They pay 500 Euro for the service and come up for any expenses during the raid. Co-pilot in a Suzuki Jimny A competitor is in desperate need of a navigator and is paying all expenses during the event for the co-pilot. Co-pilot on a Rover A friend of mine is still looking for a co-driver in his Range Rover. Just send me a note or email me at: kranz(at)frontline-services.de Other than that, the Marathonrally Party will be on Friday 27th and there will be a lot of free beer and bar-b-q So long, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
