If I was going to phrase that, I would use "high-visibility position".

I would then define that "high-visibility position" to include the drive team, the team captain(s), the team representative for alliance selections, and possibly Chairman's presenter/outreach lead. I would NOT include head scout, business team, or other similar roles, because they work in the background for the most part. Any one female in any one high-visibility position would work (at least, the way I see it).

Just assuming that the drivers are the most visible isn't necessarily the case-I would say that unless the drivers are actually getting camera time and that feed is actually displayed, the team representative for selections might actually get more if they make it to the field.
