The Studio was financed by Lloyd Casner of Camoradi International. The Tec-Mec F415 car was based on Maserati 250F design, being an improved, lightened version of the 250F. The chassis being a lightweight tubular spaceframe, and a power unit was Maserati 2490 cc straight 6 engine. Brazilian Frederico José Carlos Themudo “Fritz” d’Orey drove Tec-Mec in its only appearance in the 1959 United States Grand Prix, but the car retired just after 6 laps.
