Roary the Racing Car

Children have always loved cars, so this animated series featuring plenty of the shiny, colorful, speedy vehicles is a natural to hold the attention of tiny tots. The show follows the adventures of the title character, an inexperienced young race car learning the ropes at the Silver Hatch circuit. His kindly competitors include main older rival Maxi; Tin Top, a powerful stock car; electric-powered stunt car Zizzy; and Dragga, a car that enjoys drifting through every curve. Along with Big Chris, Silver Hatch's main mechanic, these fast-moving friends have plenty of fun, both on and off the track.
