Silvio Maiga

Silvio Maiga (Sanremo, Italy, 14 June 1949) is a former Italian rally competitor who specialised as a co-driver. In the early 1970s, he competed alongside drivers such as Orlando Dall’Ava and, later, Amilcare Ballestrieri. In 1973, he co-drove for Ballestrieri in a Lancia Fulvia HF during the season in which the driver won the Italian Rally Championship.

The most notable phase of his career began in 1976 as Sandro Munari’s co-driver in the Lancia works team. Driving a Lancia Stratos HF, they won the Monte Carlo, Portugal and Corsica rallies that year. In 1977, they won Monte Carlo again, bringing Maiga’s total to four victories in World Rally Championship events.
