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.

Stirling Moss pilots the number 48 Scarab through the streets of Monaco during the 1960 Grand Prix. The American-built Scarabs had been disappointingly slow, prompting team owner Lance Reventlow to ask Moss to test the car's potential. Watched by spectators from behind hay-bale barriers, Moss recorded a better time than the team's drivers, but it was still not fast enough to qualify for the race.
