'''Tec-Mec''' (full name '''Studio Tecnica Meccanica''') was a [[Formula One]] constructor from Italy. Founded by former [[Maserati]] designer [[Valerio Colotti]] in 1958, they participated in a single Grand Prix, scoring no World Championship points.

==History==
Tec-Mec used an improved, lightened version of the Maserati 250F, named the F415. The car was upgraded by the 250F's designer, Colotti, and financed by Lloyd Casner of [[Camoradi International]]. The team made its single outing in the [[1959 United States Grand Prix]], but the car, driven by [[Fritz d'Orey]] lasted six laps before retiring, having qualified 17th on the grid ahead of only the [[Midget car racing|midget racer]] of [[Rodger Ward]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/january-1960/16/first-grand-prix-united-states|title=The first grand prix of the United States|author=MJT|date=January 1960|page=16|website=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] magazine archive|publisher=|access-date=2016-08-24}}</ref>

Colotti sold the design studio at the end of the year to found [[Colotti Trasmissioni]], and the company continued to produce cars for the [[Formula Junior]] series.
