Something I've learned is that relative to modern race (& "super") cars, the 917 was pretty far off the ground and had fairly soft springs. In photos and videos, you can see how much suspension movement and body roll there is.
That article points out how modern tires and downforce just twisted that old frame and suspension until it failed.
