Production notes
Combined CGI and stop-motion animation.
Roary, the cheeky single-seater racing car, is the youngest of all the cars at Silver Hatch race track, and his sense of mischief sometimes lands him in trouble. However, the little red car's boundless enthusiasm and good nature mean that nobody can be cross with him for long. He is always full of beans, but he also has a lot to learn as he gets older.
The colourful cast of motors includes Maxi, the macho, Italian F1 racing car who thinks he's a superstar; Cici, the cute, giggly little French stunt car; and Plugger, the cool, colorful, off-road Caribbean 4x4; bossy manager Marsha; and the wealthy owner of Silver Hatch, Mr Carburettor. Chief mechanic Big Chris acts as a father figure to Roary and his pals, and is always on hand to give the little car a pep talk when he feels down.
The series is narrated by racing legend Sir Stirling Moss and features the vocal talents of comedian Peter Kay as Big Chris.
The series was originated by David Jenkins, who previously worked at Brands Hatch and Goodwood Motor Racing circuits. It was designed and developed by Keith Chapman, creative director of Chapman Entertainment and creator of the internationally successful pre-school animations Bob the Builder and Fifi And The Flowertots.
