StarDrive Poland 2026 was held in Międzyzdroje.

StarDrive Poland 2026, the 24th edition of the international touring rally organised by the Polish Classic Mercedes Club, was held in Międzyzdroje.

More than 90 crews from six countries – Poland, Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Sweden – took part in the event. Around 100 classic Mercedes-Benz cars, representing different decades of the brand’s history, could be seen in Międzyzdroje and along the routes of Western Pomerania. Every year, the rally brings together owners of classic Mercedes cars from Poland and abroad, combining tourism, motoring, competition and the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts from across Europe.

This year’s event also marked two important anniversaries. The Polish Classic Mercedes Club is celebrating its 25th anniversary, while Mercedes-Benz marks 140 years of innovation. Another highlight of this year’s StarDrive is the 50th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz W123.

The rally headquarters were located near Międzyzdroje Town Hall and at Aqua Resort. Visitors had the chance to admire pre-war classics, cars from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, as well as popular youngtimers.

Classic cars are only one part of the event. The people behind them, their stories and the emotions they share through their passion for motoring are what really matter.

“We want to show participants from across Europe the beauty of Western Pomerania, while giving local residents and visitors the chance to see these exceptional cars up close,” says Miłosz Kolec, Commander of StarDrive Poland 2026.

The choice of Międzyzdroje as the rally’s base was no coincidence. Its seaside setting, Promenade of Stars and distinctive character provide a natural backdrop for cars whose design and history are an integral part of the event. The combination of classic motoring, the Baltic Sea and the region’s tourism appeal makes StarDrive an interesting experience not only for car enthusiasts, but also for people simply spending a September weekend by the Baltic coast.
