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 commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
