Nishitan Clinic Race Ambassador Awards 2025 Rookie Division will be selected by fan voting to race ambassadors who made their first appearance at the 2025 Super GT. The awards ceremony was held on July 13th, with RiO, who serves as aprVictoria, won the Grand Prix.
The Japan Race Queen Grand Prize, which started in 2010, has been changed to the “Race Ambassador Awards” from 2024. This year, the Nishitan Clinic Race Mbassador Awards 2025 Rookie Division was held again in May, where the most popular rookie race ambassador from the race ambassador who will make his first appearance at Super GT will be the No. 1 rookie race ambassador.
In 2025, 34 people entered, and first stage voting began on May 19th, starting with a special advance vote for the second Super GT Fuji, held on May 3rd and 4th. Ten people, Aizawa Asuka, Amemiya Ayu, Amamiya Kasumi, Ishida Risa, Tachibana Yuki, Naoi Nene, Momosato Rea, Moritani Kaka, Yumikawa Ichika, and RiO, advanced to the final stage, and from June 20th to July 6th they took on the final stage to win the Grand Prix with three winners.
On July 13th, the Rookie Division award ceremony was held at the Gal Paradise event “Gal Para Tanabata Festival,” which features race queens, and the three winners and the grand prize were announced.
At the Galpara Tanabata Festival, 10 people changed into lace ambassador costumes and took the stage in the second half of the event. Each of them will convey their gratitude to the fans who have received their vote. The awards ceremony will then begin, and the Rookie Division special awards will be announced first.
The Medibanneppuri Award, which is selected based on the number of prints on the convenience store printing app “Medibanneppuri”, was won by Aizawa Asuka, Moritani Kaka, and RiO. Naoi Nene and Momosato Rea won the Executive Committee Special Award.
And then we will be announcing the winners of the Rookie Division. The first person to be invited was RiO. We will express our gratitude to the fans who gathered. The second winner was Yumikawa Ichika. There were also some emotional scenes in the middle of the comment. And the last third person to be invited was Aizawa Asuka. She also showed a look of relief and a smile, expressing her gratitude.
The three winners took the stage and proceeded to announce the grand prize. The presenter is Natsumi Haruka, the 2024 Rookie Division Grand Prix. A year ago, he was able to shed tears and rejoice in the same stage, and announced his new rookie queen.
The person who was called by Natsumi with great energy was RiO, who serves as aprVictoria. When he received the Grand Prix trophy, he held back tears and expressed his gratitude.
“Through this rookie division, I realized that my own strength is a small force. I knew I had lived with the support of many people, but it was only a few months that I had experienced it with my whole body. I've experienced both Super Formula and Super Endurance, and I entered this year with no experience with the Super GT.”
“Depending on how you look at it, it's a good environment, and some people may think it's unfair. However, that environment doesn't mean you can win the Grand Prix, and since everyone was running along with you, I was in a period of confidence that I could say I worked hard with confidence, so I'm really happy to be able to win the Grand Prix like this.”
“Thank you to everyone who led me to this outcome. I felt that I was really supported by many different people, so from here on I wanted to become someone who could be a supporter for everyone, and I received a lot of support from not only my fans, but also my friends, members, and family, so I would like to spend about a year slowly expressing my gratitude.”
The heated race of rookie race ambassadors has reached the finish line, and voting for the Costume Division, which will determine the most popular costume for race queens and race ambassadors, is scheduled to start in August.
