I agree with those. Let's honor the champ though - the PS in Sardegna, probably there are many more, but this stands atm.

I would say that Sadegna Power stage was Kevin Abbring's stage of 2016. It was Kevin's first WRC points which he earned by finishing 2nd on the PS by just 0.6 second behind Seb Ogier.
Not sure I would rate it as Ogier's best stage, but I am willing to be corrected on that.

What do you consider to be each drivers most outstanding single stage performances of 2016 ?
Kris Meeke on Ouninpohja 1 where he won by 13 seconds over JML would be one
Hayden Paddon's power stage win on El Condor - Copina 2 would be another.
Can other forum members make suggestions for other drivers

i think those two are the best ones, it was not a single stage but IMO last day in wales was impressive from Tänak with winning all stages and Świętajno 2 stage in Poland.

Very hard to identify one stage in particular for Seb Ogier, as you said so many to choose from. Maybe something from Seb's totally dominant first morning in Corsica

So in Your logic a driver must be dominant to pick a best stage of the year to him? Ok, Meeke was kind of dominant in Finland (for one reason or another), but how was Paddon dominant in Argentina? He only won because of this very last stage.

No, that's not what he said.

Ah, sorry I didn't understood fan's logic. My apologies.

No I am not saying a driver must be dominant for it to be his personal best stage of 2016. I was simply saying Ogier's best stage may have come from his dominant morning in Corsica.

All drivers will have had a stage that stands out as "their personal best stage" for 2016. What was best stage for Camilli, for Bertilli, for Ostberg, for LeFebvre, for Mikkelsen etc. Would love to hear from lots of forum members particularly those who closely follow a particular driver.

Ok I read what You wrote, just didn't see any particular reason to pick this or that, except the mentioned "dominance". As I already said, my apologies.
