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:
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
