Unless toyota wins both titles this year and says: fuck it, we don't want to win them again next year, both Rovanpera and katsuta will not drive anything but a 4th car next year.
Perhaps if one of them turns out to perform very well they might promote them to the first team, but that won't be till later in the season.

If Toyota wants a "stable" and reliable points scorer for manu championship Evans does seem like a very good choice at the moment.
Tanak-Evans-Rovanpera lineup would have a title-charger, reliable points scorer and a young and coming challenger.
That said we don't know how much they want a manu title now that they already won one and how much they want to charge for wins and driver championship (both now (Tanak) and in future (Rovanpera)).
Also driver form can change rather quickly, before Spain last year Evans looked like he might get kicked out of WRC for good.

I could read between the lines that you were instantly thinking about Tidemand. But you must also remember that Tidemand has years of experience from WRC rallies, even from older generation WRC cars and he is a WRC2 champion. Also, when Tidemand self-funds two drives, we expect him to show something to get team bosses interested. Katsuta meanwhile doesn't have to prove anything, since he's hired by a manufacturer to become a professional WRC driver because it will have a marketing value for the company to have a local driver.
