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.
On the bustling grid of the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, a driver sits in the cockpit of the front-engined Scarab, number 48. To diagnose the car's disappointing speed, team owner Lance Reventlow invited Stirling Moss to conduct a test. Although Moss set a faster time, it was still insufficient to qualify, confirming the issue lay with the car itself. The scene is crowded with mechanics and officials under a prominent "CINZANO" banner, capturing the pre-race anticipation on the famous street circuit.
