The Ferrari 333SP @ Le Mans

I was looking through some past Le Mans results and started focusing on the Ferrari 333SP (one of my favorites from the past). From what I can tell, 10 cars raced in the years of 1995 through 1999 with depressing results. The highlights were fastest lap in 1996, 6th overall in 1997, and 8th overall in 1999. The lowlights...well a bunch of DNF's. The pilots for the most part are good, depending upon the team of course.

My question is, why was this car not successful at Le Mans. Some years it was on the pace and in others it was quite far behind. Was it reliability? Lack of outright pace? Or just the teams that campaigned them?

I’m just trying to piece this together, as I don’t recall the reason why. Thanks for any comments.
