I disagree. While everyone should have the opportunity to drive, it should not be during a competition. In the non-competition time, when the club stills meets, then I feel that everyone should drive. Not only does it make your team more consistent at the competition, not everyone is a good driver. My idea is to have 1 or 2 drive teams (a main team and a back up team).
So the question is: Which is the best option: Having everyone drive, or to have 1 or 2 drive teams?

I am going to make the assumption that you have some competition for the driver spot and it seems like if it were 2 drive teams you would most likely be on the one already determined.
To be completely honest, if you deserve it and are the best that's how it will pan out. Your mentors want to see other potential that could be used down on the field to win competitions at later dates. If not, then so be it dude. You have to prove to your coaches/mentors you want it by dictating the actions on the field. Also, you have to keep calm and maintain composure.
I believe that at off-season events, all kids should be granted the right to drive if they have completed a certain amount of practice first. Once 2 or 3 competitions have passed, then the agreement on a driver should be made.
Just drive better dude and you will get the spot.
