At the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, driver-owner-constructor Lance Reventlow prepares for trial laps in his Scarab car during its much-anticipated European debut. Seen in a close-up within the cockpit, his calm, focused expression is visible through his visor. He is strapped into the open-wheel vehicle with a thick safety harness, a feature not yet common in Grand Prix cars at the time. A black roll bar curves up behind his light-colored helmet.
