The Scarabs were disappointingly slow and to find out if it was the driver or the car, Reventlow (left) 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, Lance Reventlow (left), in a bright orange racing suit, confers with Stirling Moss. To determine why his Scarab cars were so disappointingly slow, Reventlow had asked Moss to test one. Moss, still in his helmet, listens with a weary expression, his hand to his face. Though he achieved a better time, it was still not fast enough to qualify for the race. The candid photograph captures a moment of intense, unposed deliberation.
