Great question. "Mechanics" here is specifically referring to an auto mechanic (car mechanic). Which is a mechanic who works works on automobiles, trucks, and related transportation and material-moving vehicles. In this case it is specifically race cars. Some mechanics perform general maintenance and repairs, while others may specialize in tires, brakes, engines, or on-board computers. Ex: There's something wrong with the car, so I took it to the mechanics. Ex: Is there a mechanic nearby who specialises in electric cars?
