Evo X FIA PWRC Debut in Rally Japan?
I saw this on WRC.com in a story about Juho Hanninen:
So it looks like Fumio Nutahara is going to be in an Evo X as well as some other driver, but the entry list hasn't been updated yet so no confirmation.
While Hanninen’s job is straightforward in that he needs 10 points, those points are going to be far from easy to come across, with some of the world’s fastest Group N drivers ready to stand in his way. Former champion Toshi Arai is one such driver. The Subaru man has suffered a terrible season in his Impreza WRX, but he will be doubly determined to end that run on home ground. Another Japanese with a lot to prove is Fumio Nutahara, who drives one of two all-new Lancer Evolution Xs on the event.

Found the entry list on the Rally Japan website. Here's the Evo X's entered:
56 P Fumio NUTAHARA
59 P Katsuhiko TAGUCHI
68 Hiroshi HOSHINO
78 Tatsuru SAITO
83 Yu MATSUI
So a total of 5!
