Yes, it does take a spot away from a student, but that mentor inspires and teaches the other three members on the driveteam in a way that the typical student cannot. Atleast for our team, I don't think our drivers would have the same positive experience with a student instead of an adult mentor. Throughout the entire process, its about mentors passing on their experience and knowledge to the students, why should it change at the event?
