Right now, their heads are empty, they have plenty of time to study, and no one is standing behind them yelling.

There's also some self-confidence to be gained from knowledge. I want them overprepared now so that they are steady, confident, and calm (as much as possible) when the matches start. Besides, I had to ask the last question to get to an even 50.
So, this is where I stand:

It does not hurt for the drivers to know the rules. Infact I would encourage it. It does hurt their driving preformance if they are trying to run through the rules in their head rather than just listening to the coach. I think there are other much more important things to test in a driver, such as their ability to preform under pressure.
