it's always been like this. The cars don't disappear instantly after you pass them, it takes a couple of seconds to fade out, and while they fade out you can still hit them and damage your car, or they can still hit you to damage your car or spin you out.

This is most evident near the end of the endurance race when the bots are faster. You can turn up the volume if you car in bonnet view, you can hear the bots engines when they are close to you after you pass them. You need to be aware of this and stay out of the bots racing line.
