The basic Riley is junk because they focused on the Mazda DPI, and under the current IMSA/ACO agreement, unless Multimatic wants to take the joker upgrades, not much of the development on the Mazda will translate to the Riley.
Granted, it seems that every time the last 20 years that Riley has tried to make a full carbon tubbed car, they failed. Their version of the Cadillac LMP900 was a failure, their Indy Car wasn't that good, and the same goes for the Riley LMP2.
That's ironic, since Bob Riley designed the Mustang GTP, the first successful LMP/GTP type car that used a carbon tub.
