Immediately after her name was called, Terachi crouched down in joy and surprise, and was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Takae Tsuzuki, producer of ZENTsweeties. Furthermore, her teammates Asuka Aizawa, Nanako Aizawa, and Ran Matsuda, who had worked with her in ZENTsweeties, made a surprise appearance and shared in her joy. Terachi is the third member of ZENTsweeties to win the grand prize.

After receiving the trophy from the previous year's Grand Prix winner, Kotone Minase, Terachi said, "A few months ago, I never imagined I'd be standing on this stage. I'm not the type of person who is good at asking others for favors or taking the lead, so I was worried about how much cooperation and support I would need from so many people to participate in the Race Ambassador Awards, and that I would become a burden to everyone and drag them down."

"The words 'I want to repay you with results' came to mind, but I couldn't have done it alone. The fact that I'm standing on this stage today is proof that so many of you have joined forces. The Grand Prix doesn't belong to me alone. I am proud of winning this Grand Prix, and I will continue to work with the words of producer Tsuzuki-san that he gave me during the awards ceremony, 'Never forget to be grateful and stay dignified,' in mind." She concluded by expressing her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for showing me a dream-like world".

Other awards presented that night included the newly established "Online Auto Salon Award" went to Sena Maeda, the "Option Award" to Anna Abiru, the "Weekly Playboy Award" to Karen Tachibana, the "Carport Maruzen Award" to Hana Takatsuki, and the "MediBang Net Print Award" to Karen Tachibana, Shiori Negishi and Yuka Hirano. Momo Togawa and Miyuki Hayakawa were awarded the "Motorsports Ambassador Award Executive Committee Special Award", which is given to race ambassadors who are expected to have a bright future.

A new award, the "Motorsports Ambassador Award Honorary Award", was also announced, which recognizes race ambassadors who have continued to support and promote race ambassadors for a long period of time. It was presented to Tsukasa Arai, who retired from being a race queen/race ambassador in 2025. Arai originally began her career as a race queen in April 2012 as a Petronas Team Toms Syntium Lady in the Formula Nippon (now known as Super Formula).
