2016 African Rally Championship

The season began on February 11 in the Côte d'Ivoire, and ended on November 13 in Madagascar, after seven events.

Mitsubishi Lancer driver Don Smith won the title in dominant fashion, taking victory in Tanzania and finishing second in five other rallies, wrapping up the title early, leading to no African Championship competitors entering the series finale in Madagascar.

Star of the championship was Zambian driver Muna Singh Jr., winning in South Africa, Zambia and Rwanda.

Singh was unable to finish any other rally and was overcome by Smith's consistency.

Fellow Zambian driver Ismail Shermohamed was third in the title, taking victory in Uganda.
