It would appear that it is simply a "starter" car. It allows us to farm the daily races until we earn our first real  F1 car. Once you have that first F1 car, you really won't need the starter car anymore,unless you want to farm the daily race while your race car repairs. I see zero reason to put any upgrades on the academy car. It probably won't be good enough to use in the Champion Series or Invitational Series.
