Sounds like an 8 valve car, not a BDA ???

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/122850 As said earlier, FIA looking for another winter rally, search includes: Japan, Russia & Canada.

When they mention Russia, then this talk cannot be considered very serious. do not see WRC going there in next decade. Japanese round sounds most realistic. they tend to find money from nowhere, very quickly and they can do good event if they have money and will :) However, people do not like to go out in the forrest there, they must find some solutions there.

Isn't it forbidden in Japan to spectate outside of predefined secure areas?

Yes, at APRC/WRC level, spectating is at ticketed areas only. Anyway, that is only one of many greater challenges facing an organiser of a winter WRC round in Japan

Including the return of an old acquaintance.
Along with Quentin Gilbert, Yoann Bonato, Karl Krudda and Sébastien Chardonnet, also is the return of Evgeny Novikov, who has two seasons away from the World Rally Championship after running in 2013 as a pilot of M-Sport. After two years away from the stages of the World Cup, in which he has even made the work of co-pilot in Russia, Novikov seems determined to go back and choose to drive a DS3 WRC against protected Citroen (Chardonnet and Gilbert) seems a good first step.
The Russian, 25 also have been tempted by Tommi Mäkinen (as reported in the paper edition of the French AUTOhebdo) to try one of the Toyota Yaris WRC for next season. If anyone missed Evgeny Novikov, it seems to be back.
