The much awaited Scarab cars appear for the first time in Europe. Lance Reventlow, the driver-owner-constructor, prepares for trial laps. Note the seat belts, which were not yet common in GP cars at that time. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

Driver-owner-constructor Lance Reventlow prepares for trial laps in his car at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, which marked the much-awaited European debut of the American-built Scarab racers. Seated in the cockpit, his expression is focused and pensive beneath a scuffed helmet. He is secured by a safety harness with prominent metal buckles—a notable feature, as seat belts were not yet common in Grand Prix cars at the time.
