He then bought a Sinclair QL (which he has since donated to the MO5.COM association) and spent 6 months developing QL Vrooma Formula 1 game worthy of its model. He tried to adapt it for the Atari ST in 1986, but faced with the amount of work he had to do in his spare time, he proposed to Jean-Luc Langloiswho has just enjoyed success with The Manor of Mortevielle within his company Lankhorto develop and publish Vroom together.
