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

She fell in love with a boy
Who spoke a second language,
And who lived across the ocean
In the evil empire.
He awoke her sleeping heart
And swept away the darkness;
An acute fear of flying couldn't keep her away.
She landed on her feet
And joined his fledgling rock group,
As they toured the evil empire
Selling t-shirts at the shows.
She taught him what was real;
She taught him he was okay
That his thoughts were not just rubbish,
That he had something good to give.
Still his heart was so ambivalent
And homesick of her
He wasn't ever sure.
But she gave in so sweetly
That the spirit said, "Well you better go run to her!"
So when she split, he hopped on a plane
With his parents and his brother.
He told her that he loved her
