Design
A strikingly different car than the Asurada, the Garland represents simplicity and reliability instead of cutting edge technology. The variable chassis system has been removed to save on weight and development and production costs. As a result the Garland does not have the versatility of the Super Asurada AKF-11, however this weight saving was translated into increased engine power and reliability over the Super Asurada AKF-11 something that translated directly into points as the only two retirements of the year were due to accident and not mechanical failure. The SF-01 was however outpaced by the end of the season leading to its retirement after only one season with an upgraded Garland SF-02 taking the field the following year.
The SF-02 is an evolution of the SF-01 and used the same basic chassis with some weight saving potential discovered during the previous year. As a result the handling was improved, but that was all. In nearly all ways it was a carbon copy of its predecessor.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I begin with a design for a hearse.
For Christ’s sake not black—
nor white either—and not polished!
Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“Westerners inherit
A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
