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.
In the pit lane for the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss sits in the cockpit of a light blue Scarab. Team owner Lance Reventlow, finding his cars disappointingly slow, had asked Moss to test one to determine if the fault lay with the vehicle or the driver. Moss managed a better time, but it was still not enough for the Scarab to qualify for the race. Wearing a white helmet and racing suit, he has a focused expression as he is surrounded by crew and onlookers near the car, which features a winged tortoise emblem on its side.
