More often than not the cheaters ruin it, so I just finish out that race and leave for a few days. (DNF is worse than losing in OMP, -100 points). There is another scenario where you wouldn't need to quit the race. Say if you're racing at Le Mans and when you're half-way through the race and while you're in 1st place everyone else quits because they think you're to far to be overtaken. That means you're racing alone on the track, if you quit the race the points don't change, but if you finish the race, you'll actually increase your rating and also lower the rating of all the other racers that quit (effectively a double decrease in rating, somehow, one for qutting and one for being in lower position).

In some races you have to mentally think how to crack other players into making a mistake like going off-track or missing an apex of a corner slowing them down (Well more or less OMP is a chess game of racing). These are the players that will eventually quit half-way through a race.
