French speaker please

On the 1973 Monte Carlo cars (and probably other years) there are stage stickers 1, 2, and 3. Under the number are two words. The bottom seems to be MECHANIQUE but the upper word has me baffled.
I think you got these after stage completion, or maybe prior to starting.
Any ideas?

I would say "contrôle technique".

As Eric1968 has written

"contrôle technique" is correct
