However, research simulators have high costs. A possible solution toavoid these costs is using videogame simulators. Videogame racing simulators haveachieved high quality with a moderate cost. Some of these games include very detailedmodels that describe very accurately the performance of the simulated vehicles. In addition,they provide very realistic images of the car, the highway and their surroundings.With the aim of using them as research tools, several of the most popular games have beenanalysed. Two of them have been selected: rFactor2 and Assetto Corsa. Also, a 3D modelof a section of an actual highway has been made and adapted to be used by theaforementioned games. Some tests have been conducted using a custom computer system,and the modelled highway section, with both game simulators. From these tests results, bothsim racing software can be used to build a low cost driving simulator useful for roadgeometric design research. PB Universidad de Burgos.
