hope to remember correctly but after the first year multimatic kept on working with speedsource and then joest to improve the mazda dpi platform while riley kept his duty to the ACO spec lmp2.
The riley-multimatic lmp2 didn't get any real update and the car kept on using a poor developed aero/chassis; while multimatic did a good job on making the mazda more reliable and competitive anyhow.
Just need to consider that both mazda and riley-multi lmp2 have a silly lmp3 style windscreen, that being part of the carbon tub it can't be changed at all... riley lmp2 kept on having shameful top speed, mazda dpi had always great top speed....
at the end mazda dpi got better suspensions, a more optimized in-tub airflow to improve cooling and a better aero + a more powerful and reliable AER engine. Riley dp2 is basically still the old untouched silly lmp2.
