Kalle Rovanpera will contest a partial World Rally Championship campaign next year as part of an unchanged Toyota driver line-up for next year.
Evans, runner-up to Rovanpera in his year’s title race, will contest a full season alongside Katsuta, while eight-time world champion Ogier is set for a third partial campaign after retiring from full-time competition at the end of 2021.
Newly crowned two-time world champion Rovanpera has signed a new multi-year deal but will only contest a part-time programme in 2024.
Rovanpera wishes to “recharge his batteries” from the demands of the WRC next year before returning for a full-time programme in 2025.
The 23-year-old made the step up to WRC’s top flight in 2020 with Toyota and has since scored 11 wins on his way to back-to-back world titles in 2022-2023.
