Tiziano has been a loyal co-driver to Miki Biasion since 1979 and won two World Rally Championship titles with the Italian in 1988 and 1989. He is also one of the organisers of the Por Las Pampas Rally in Argentina, a round of the FIA World Cup.
Siviero's first WRC event was the 1980 Sanremo Rally. His first win at WRC level came on the 1986 Rally of Argentina. Biasion and Siviero won the European Rally Championship together in 1983 and Siviero won 16 WRC rallies with his close friend, only missing out on success in the 1988 Rally of Portugal.
Biasion and Siviero's last WRC victory came on the 1993 Acropolis Rally. In the summer 2002, Tiziano (always with Miki) joined the Mitsubishi Team and finished third overall in the UAE Desert Challenge. They were 15th overall in the Telefonica Dakar Rally '03, after losing a top six position on the last stage. The same year they finished second overall in the Rally of Tunisia. But in 2004, during the Dakar, the crew had to retire after a big crash. In 2005, Tiziano will join for the first time Ari Vatanen and the Nissan Pickup. A new challenge for these two World Champions...
