A chariot is a type of horse drawn carriage often used in races; as in a type of vehicle... Sure You don't know what the competition might entail, but because of that, your safest bet would be to take the name literally and work based off that assumption instead of just picking randomly. In this case, the name alone hints that it would be some kind of vehicle race. That suspicion alone should have been enough for them to not chance sending out someone with motion sickness... Sure you might be wrong to assume that, but better to be wrong assuming the obvious than ignoring the obvious to go with a random guess
Based on the name alone I probably would have sent out either Erza or Elfman for Fairy tail A and either Laxus or Mira from Fairy Tail B... they are the four I feel who would be the most versatile for some kind of race and aren't hampered down by motion sickness

As Lucy said "You could have guessed what would happen just from the name 'chariot' can't you?", and by Erza's comments, Natsu insisted on going out no matter what anyways, and there was no arguing with him.
So with Natsu going out, Sting likely went out because he wanted the chance to compete directly with Natsu. And with those two going out Gajeel went out for the same reason as Sting, and because he'd never had problems with motion sickness before. And by Laxus's comment, he didn't go out because he did have problems with motion sickness.
