Reporting to Officer Jenny was the most Shen Qi could do out of concern for safety.
He would get a good night's sleep, then face tomorrow's race.
It was only a Regular Race, so he should not have been too nervous. But someone whose true identity was unknown was lurking deep within the mystery, trying to smear him, and Shen Qi was aiming for a top-three finish. It would have been strange if it did not bother him.
He probably could not beat Janine. She would likely take one of the top three spots, meaning Shen Qi could only afford to lose to one other driver. He could not fall any further behind.
Fourth or fifth would still count as a high-quality finish, but he would need another two races to bring his total to five top-five finishes before he could become a Trainee Driver.
A top-three finish here should mean he only needed one more race.

After the last race in Saffron City, that set of tires had been nearly worn out. He had simply driven all the way from Saffron City to Fuchsia City without switching back to everyday tires, getting full use out of them before throwing them away.
So much had happened in Fuchsia City that, although he had bought Little Sheep a new set of racing tires, he had barely had time to test how they felt.

The Safari Zone was currently in a recovery period.
