When the final light went off, he immediately left his grid position, going around the track for a formation lap. A few seconds after he left, he could see Apollo in his rear-view mirror, leaving his P2 grid position as he followed him around the track.
While following the procedure of the formation lap as instructed, he also wondered how everything looked no different from Apollo actually being on the track, but he immediately chalked it up to everything being projected in his mind to make it look like a reality. After thinking about it, he realized it was something trivial compared to what his simulation ability allowed him to do while sleeping.
As he swerved left and right on the long Hangar Straight, he looked at the sky, trying to see if the clouds were getting darker and darker, and lo and behold, they were, increasing the possibility of rain during the race practice even more.
