And both are worse than their father even now, looking at the results in Japanese rallye. And the two fathers were quite low-level drivers (for the WRC championship I mean).
It would be quite a no-sense to see them in a WRC seat.
If I had to compare them, I would say Arai is a little better (at least he has a little of speed even if he has no consistency). Katsuka is just terrible.
Yes, they are the sons of 2 multiple Japanese rally champions (Arai even 2x PWRC champion), and I'd say Hiroki Arai might have some margin of improving, if you look at last year's results he didn't do that bad, few decent results. Katsuta, on the other hand...
