 Australian V8 Supercar World Champion, Craig Lowndes, zooms onto the small screen on Wednesday 23rd December and Tuesday 29th December at 7.30am in his debut children’s TV performance. The V8 legend will lend his iconic Aussie voice to the role of CONROD, in the award winning pre-school animation, Roary the Racing Car.

Conrod is a big throaty new Aussie V8 named after the famous straight at the Bathurst race track where Lowndes found fame. With film star status around the track, Conrod’s arrival to Silver Hatch brings a huge amount of excitement from the team, especially Roary, who is a little star struck!

Lowndes passion for motor racing, loveable personality and laid-back Australian style has injected Conrod with his authentic character. Conrod is a rough, tough but friendly Aussie V8 who just keeps going, even after an almighty pile up, “no worries”. He has a knack for creating a mood of competition with the other cars as well as a romantic mood with the ladies, who seem to overheat every time he comes to town!

Craig Lowndes is thrilled to have been chosen as a new member of the Roary team, “I have moved into super cool dad status now that I am involved in Roary the Racing Car, it is fantastic” said Lowndes.

Sir Stirling Moss also joins Craig Lowndes on the hit series, along with the veteran voice of motorsport, Murray Walker, and comic genius, Peter Kay!
