Fuji in 2013 and Silverstone in 2014 were other cases in point. You can't beat nature.
But for PLM I'd rather it go back to being time or distance. There's been 1000km races in the past that were called short of doing 1000km and becoming 6 hour+1 lap races as even those distance races still in reality had a 6 hour time limit.

Weather happens at times for many races....and I recall 2009 and 2015. I was there!

You're WRONG!
Distance race more better.
2016: 412 laps = 1046 miles
2015: The rain won
2014: 400 laps = 1016 miles
Times are harder to come by but I think the closest was early 2000s at 9.5 hours. Always went distance.
