Furtherly upgrading the Drivers Academy

I recently built my Drivers Academy, looking for some high talented new drivers. Besides the let down when I discovered that I must waste a token in order to blindly see a new driver, and pay 15 more to promote him, I was wondering if upgrading the Academy again makes sense.
I mean, if I Upgrade the design facility, I will get more Design points every race; same for the parts factory; but what happens if I invest on the Drivers academy?

Thank you to whoever wants to help.

I think the question is -- what perks do you get for upgrading Drivers academy? All of the others are more transparent about what you get. Academy, not much.

It looks like that a higher level YA produces a better chance on high talent drivers. Myself I consider the YA as the second most unimportant building with offices being the most.

Nowadays I usually upgrade Manufacturing first, then Technology, Design, Simulator, YA and since now leveling slowed down enough to have time for it Offices gets some upgrading down at last.
But I don't use the app so no free parts from there. I don't like that kind of stuff anyway since I'm not sure if I pay with watching adds or selling data.

Developing and scouting for new drivers in the Youth Academy is a long term investment. There is no way around it, even in reality. You will have to spend a little bit at a time over a long period to receive large gains further down the road. Several times per month (I only race three times a week so not many tokens to go around on my end) I will throw a token or two at the Youth Academy. A few weeks back, I scouted my first 20 talent driver.

It depends on what level you are.

I would think its one of the most important once your a lvl 14 or 15 manager..

The higher lvl it is the more talent 20 drivers it will find. Yes you take a hit of 1 coin just to search and 15 to promote, but long term, over 5/10 seasons you will save millions in money on wages as a YA driver is always cheaper on wages than hiring a talent 20 driver.
