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, Stirling Moss sits at the wheel of a light metallic blue Scarab. Concerned that his American-built cars were disappointingly slow, team owner Lance Reventlow asked the renowned driver to test one in the bustling pit lane. Moss, wearing a white helmet, posted a better time than the team's regular drivers, but it was still not fast enough for the car to qualify for the race.
