Your rating can only change when you participate in a race, but your relative ranking will change as everyone else races. The rating is based on an ELO system, so your rating changes more dramatically based on the realtive difference in rating of all the participants (although beating someone with a rating greater than ~400 points below your rating results in no gain for you).
