One-Design is a racing method which may be adopted in sports which use complex equipment, whereby all vehicles, gliders or boats have identical or very similar designs or models. In motor racing, it is also known as Spec series, and one-make racing.
As manufacturing technologies became more efficient and effective over the course of the 20th century, racers in a number of sports realized that there was an important need to equalize the design of the equipment that they were competing in. One-Design racing is the ultimate result of this. Most often, the members of a One-Design class are near identical as a direct consequence of all deriving from the same production line. Sometimes they are checked or measured at stages in their use to guarantee continuing conformity to the standard design. The important factors being measured in One-Design racing help to equalize the vehicles and put more emphasis on the skill of the competitors.
One-Design is utilized in a variety of racing sports.

Chorus
Jesus sings easy from my heart
Sweet from my soul
Jesus falls softer on my ear
Than others I know
Inscribed across my dark places
Or carved forever in stone
He seems to be most at home
Written deep in me
Jesus in neon or written across the skies
Sung out in praises--Whispered in lullabys
One thing we agree on
No other name can bring such calm
No other one more worthy to be sung
Chorus
On thru the ages faces have come and gone
Of men of power--Doers of right and wrong
Not much eternal--Not much but cloudy memories
Oh but not so with Jesus
His name and his power
Lives on in you and me
