I noticed that too. There were two works Yaris, driven by Norihiko Katsuta (Takamoto's father, 8 times national rally champion) and Tomoyuki Shinkai (I know nothing about him). Katsuta retired on SS1, Shinkai retired on SS3 while fighting against Kovalainen's GT86 R3...
I'm not sure about the classes either, just that up until last year JN-1 was the main class, basically only Mitsubishi and Subaru... this year it seems they allowed other cars as well, there were also 2 Fabia R5, which ended in 3rd and 4th. 1st and 2nd were Hiroki Arai and his father, with 2 Subaru WRX, which probably are faster than FIA N4 Subaru...
