Why was I ejected?

I was leading a race at Las Vegas on N4 hosted by CleanFun. Somebody slams into me. Yellow flag. I spin around a couple times end up going the right way, pull in behind the pace car like I'm supposed to. Then I see a message saying I've been ejected. A while later I try to join another race by the same server, but get a message you can't enter a race you've been ejected from. If I did something wrong, I have no idea what it was and seems kinda rude to eject someone without some kind of expaination. What's up with that? -Tony-
I was in the same race. If that was you in the #116 Ocean Point car (for some weird N4 reason all the names in the replay are switched around) then I saw no good reason for you to be ejected. The #104 who tagged you got a really good run coming out of T2 and was drafting past you on the inside. You looked like you slightly brushed the wall (on my replay at least) and drifted down about half a lane where he nudged your rear quarter and spun you both. Looked very much like the classic "racing incident" to me. After a lap of yellow you'd just passed the S/F line when you suddenly dissappeared. If I recall correctly the message that came up was that you'd manually disconnected but unfortuneately the replay doesn't record the chat or server info. After the race I was chatting with the #104 driver (he and I were the only 2 left at end) and he didn't even mention it apart from a general observation that it would have been nice if more people had stayed. I'd just put this one down to general N4 weirdness if I were you. GPL needed a couple of patches to clean up the rough edges and I think N4 is going to need some fine tuning also.

If that was you in the #116 Ocean Point car (for >some weird N4 reason all the names in the replay are switched around) hmm.. I'm not the only one experiencing this. Most of my replays show the wrong people in the wrong car. Some, or most of them show me in the right numbered car but the wrong paint job and I was the only one in those with my original number.
