It's completely random.

The night driving is very much like driving in the rain. You need to give yourself a little more margin and stay very alert of flag signals since you can’t see much else! If you add the rain it makes it very interesting and difficult. I think the most important thing is to not try to become a hero and give yourself plenty of margins, along with being smart and let the prototype cars by at places where both of you has as clear a sight as possible. The mental part is very important and you just need to tell yourself that the most important factor is to stay out on track and out of trouble so you don’t need to make any unscheduled pit stops.

I just want to know if it will only rain if at the race start it says rain, or if you started the race dry it will never rain for the whole 24 hours? and if suspended and re enter the race does this apply too, rain or no rain at race menu (before you hit start) determines weather you "might" encounter rain or might not.

I did the 24hrs and did not see a single drop of rain while others have rain for more than half of the race ... so basically it's completely random.
What I did see was a couple of times when I resumed the race, the introscreen mentioned 100% track humidity and I saw a wet track on screen, but when I effectively resumed and got into the race, it was dry (as it was when I suspended the race).
