Vroom

Vroom was an early car racing game produced by the French software house Pyramide for the Sinclair QL where you take the place of a Formula One driver. The graphics are quite good, being presented in 3D with the view from the driver's cockpit.

Unfortunately the QL version is limited to only 5 different circuits, although according to its author, it actually sold around 3200 copies in the UK. This differs from the other Formula 1 racing game for the Sinclair QL, Hyperdrive in that I do not believe you get hazards on the track, other than the other cars. You can, however, go off the sides of the track., which makes driving more difficult!

The author, Daniel Macré went on to release an updated version of Vroom for the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga computers in conjunction with another software house, Lankhor.
