Suggestions for simulation environment for a project on vision-based racing based on RL?

I’m trying to create an agent for racing (inspired by Sophy AI for GT). I’m in the early stages of my research and looking for suggestions on the racing environment. I was thinking Assetto Corsa, but I also know there are other great options like TORCS.
The computation is mostly going to be my Lenovo LoQ (i7-14th gen; 16 GB RAM; 8GB VRAM NVIDIA 5050)

This is an independent project, and I don’t have much of a budget. Is AC a good call, or should I try something else?
