This is very rare, most people never have it happen. By memory I know one guy had it happen at Mount Panorama, I don't recall the car. Another guy had it at Indy Speedway in the Ferrari F14. I've had it happen about 5 times and I've been playing daily for almost 5 years. I was actually recording for 2 of those. I've never been able to figure it out. Very interesting that this is happening AFTER the 8.1 fix.

I've had them appear RIGHT in front of me at times. I recall one time in the Ferrari FXX K where they were appearing right as I crossed the start/finish line. One actually appeared a few inches from me, nothing I could do put plow into it. That time they only appeared one at a time.

The 20 second video below has them appearing in small clumps. Again, I eventually couldn't avoid them.

The long video shows only 1 time where a pack appears in front of me, about 1/3 way into a lap @ 4:35. Then if you go to 21:35 you can see the huge line of bots come around the corner.

My theory is that the game gets confused about our cars position on track, puts us right in the middle of the newly spawning bots. Other times it puts us AHEAD of those newly spawning bots, like in the Audi video below. Weird that they were all in a tight pack. Interesting thing about the 20 second video... my car is obviously moving around the spawning point. If you watch the distances, the video is not chronological. I thought it looked better they way I did it. It's an old video, I was new to YouTube.

Thanks for the info Peter, I do find these things interesting!

Here's the videos I mentioned if you are curious:

Short video with magic bots. Unfortunately I don't have the end because this race crashed due to the Silvertsone glitch of; "passing too many bots while off track AND filling your timer" (I need to shorten that!)

Go to 4:35 to see them magically appear

Go to 21:35 to see the big train behind me.
