Roary the Racing Car characters, such as Rusty, Flat Bed, Nick, Lugga, Zippee, Hellie, Breeze, Conrod, James, and Loada. "Roary the Racing Car" is set around a fictional motor racing circuit called Silver Hatch (a portmanteau of the names of the two British Grand Prix racing circuits, "Silverstone" and "Brands Hatch"). The majority of the action takes place at the track's pits and workshop, although we often follow the cars on their laps around the track. Occasionally, the characters venture to external locations such as the nearby beach. Each story begins and ends with a brief narration from racing car driver Sir Stirling Moss.
