4 Reasons Why Australians Love Roary The Racing Car
Roary The Racing Car is one of the most loved shows on television right now. So many children love watching the racing antics of Roary and his friends who are various types of racing cars and other vehicles, some animals, and the humans who work at the racetrack. Roary kids toys are a great value buy anytime of the year.
A most exciting development this year has been the introduction of Conrod, the Australian V8 Supercar, to the Silver Hatch Racetrack. Adding to the seventeen strong character cast, Conrod has been very much anticipated on our televisions.
Craig Lowndes Voices Conrod
Champion driver Craig Lowndes is the voice for Conrod and he has been out and about promoting his part on the show and Roary and Big Chris have been seen regularly at the V8 Supercar meets. Roary also gave a show at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne last year and has been popping up in shopping centres and other events during the lead up to the
Australian racing car addition.
With the addition of Craig, Roary The racing Car is sure to be a firm favourite for kids and their parents who love racing, and in Australia that is a lot of families. Craig Lowndes has three episodes to see how Conrod is received and then he’ll have more episodes if he proves popular.
Certainly it is a great opportunity to get V8 Supercar racing under the noses of the world and any publicity is good publicity.
Roary Toys
2010 is the second season and already the toys have been flying off the shelves. This may be predominantly appealing to the male market but there are some female elements to the show and many fathers are buying the toys for their girls as well. There is a good range from action figures to soft toys to racing tracks available.
Appearances
After the success of his appearances last year, Roary has already appeared at the Perth Zoo and at Westfield Eastland Shopping Centre in January 2010. He is sure to be appearing at more places this year so keep an eye out for news about the popular racing car character and his friends.
The show has begun airing on ABC1 in the mornings with Conrod but can be seen on pay TV as well. There are plenty of season one episodes to keep the kids happy as well. This might just be one cartoon that you find the Dads sitting down to watch with their kids.
Nick Jnr
Roary The Racing Car is yet another hit show on Nick Jnr and comes from the makers of Bob The Builder and Fifi And The Flowertots, so there isn’t any doubt at all that this show has attention to detail and is completely tuned in to what it is that kids love to watch these days.
Australians are hoping that Conrod becomes a permanent fixture at the Silver Hatch Raceway next season and a lot more episodes are made with Craig Lowndes voice. It not only adds another cross to his bow but demonstrates V8 racing as a world class motorsport alongside Formula Ones and and the USA Indy Cars.
Motorsports will continue to be loved around the world in its various forms which will keep Roary The Racing Car toys, books and DVDs selling extremely well in the 2-5 yr old age group.

Hi Chris,
No, I’m not sure if they are planning to make any Conrod V8 diecast car.
