Yeah that is a good thing to consider as well. It ultimately depends on the team and what works for them. I'm not sure what kind of team the person who started this thread comes from or what kind of resources they have, but if, like you said, they only have maybe a day or two prior to the event to practice driving, then yes, pure driving ability would make more sense at that point.
