The Scarabs were disappointingly slow and to find out if it was the driver or the car, Reventlow let Stirling Moss try one. He did a better time but it would not have been enough to qualify. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

At the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, spectators watch intently as Stirling Moss tests the number 48 Scarab. The car’s owner, Lance Reventlow, concerned his vehicles were disappointingly slow, enlisted Moss to determine if the issue was the car or the driver. While Moss achieved a better time, it was still insufficient to qualify for the race. Onlookers are positioned close to the action, separated from the tarmac by a low barrier of hay bales, with shops for "TABACS" and "KODAK" visible in the background.
