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, the Scarab racing cars proved disappointingly slow. To determine if the fault lay with the driver or the machine, team owner Lance Reventlow let Stirling Moss test one of the vehicles. Here, the Scarab, number 48, speeds along the street circuit past packed grandstands and trackside advertising. Watched by a small group at the edge of the course, Moss achieved a better time than the team's regular driver, but it was ultimately not enough to qualify for the prestigious race.
