Penalties and cars turning invisible

I just wish I knew what the protocol was for cars turning 'invisible'. At what stage does the game decide to temporarily remove a car from the race, as it were.

I've just did the Daily race at Tokyo Expressway and in Lap 1 in the middle part of the track where it's quite narrow there was a cluster of about 5 cars. One guy got shunted, he was literally ricocheting from left to right hitting both sides of the of track (I don't think this was intentionally, I genuinely believe he just got caught in a tizzy and couldn't settle the car). Anyway at this point I fully expected the game to turn him invisible, and since I had the racing line I decided to go for the overtake, at that point he swiped right into the side of me, sending me into a 360 spin. By the time I got going I'd dropped to last position. On top of that I got hit with 5 second penalty.

To make matters worse, I've just noticed my SR level has dropped down a level.

I know some people might think I shouldn't have relied on the car turning invisible but the only other option to avoid him would've been to slam my brakes on but since it was lap 1 everyone was still quite bunched up so this would've made matters worse
 
It's pure luck if another car gets ghosted or not, usually if you expect it to do so it doesn't. :banghead:
