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:
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“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)
“What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
