Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I found this show just by accident
when my son was little, just scrolling
through YouTube one day on my phone and I
found it.
I'm like, oh, okay, we'll check this out,
watch this video.
And it's just like whoa, this is
eye-opening.
It has everything I love about vehicles all
in one place, and it's a kid's show and the
episodes are short.
Another show that's this short didn't
(00:21):
appear until we got bluey, but like 10,15
minutes per episode.
Your attention span won't be wandering off
for a long tv series, especially when
you're really young and you can pay
attention to these great things with
vibrant colors, cool names and a racing car.
I didn't realize it, but I was introduced
to this show through a book.
My son had gotten around the time he was
(00:41):
two.
We found it at a thrift store, made noise,
there's a little button on it you could
push and it's a horn that was honking.
You push it and it went beep, beep and the
little car that was a star of this show was
in the book.
My son loved the book.
I used to read it, but I never realized
this was a TV series.
I thought it was just a book.
But when I Only, lasting from 2007 to 2010,
(01:02):
with 104 episodes.
Rory the Racing Car came into my life as he
is, as a racing car, essentially as an F2
racing car.
Rory became a part of my life and when my
daughter was younger, it was one of her
favorite shows to watch.
Today, rory may be over and done with and
it's a show that came out before both of my
(01:23):
children were ever born, but it's played
such a big role in our hearts With all the
vehicles it introduced you to.
The automotive world is alive and well in
this cartoon more than any other one around.
So today, autolux is going to be taking a
look at one of our most favorite kid shows
of all time Rory the racing car.

So back in may of 2007, this little race
car joined the world.
We were first introduced to this little
race car through a famous voice that most
(02:53):
of us knew, sir sterling moss.
Yes, the famous f1 lamar driver, mr
sterling moss or in this case, sir sterling
moss, narrated the backdrop of the story
for us, so we would understand the show we
were about to watch, and right at the end,
he would say where the show was taking
place at a famous racetrack known as Silver
(03:14):
Hatch, essentially a merger of two famous
British racetracks Silverstone and Brands
Hatch.
It's kind of funny because there's lots of
racing that happens there In the United
States we had Sam Hornish Jr of IndyCar
fame as the narrator and, for a very select
few episodes, mr Lewis Hamilton or I'm
going to say it right, sir Lewis Hamilton
(03:36):
even narrated a bit of it and also Sir
Jackie Stewart.
So some very famous British race car
drivers were the narrators behind this
amazing show that centers around a bunch of
racing cars at a racetrack.
Now, if you've never seen Rory the Racing
Car, even if you're not into cars, it's a
show that you need to watch.
Like I said, it's literally centered around
(03:57):
a racetrack and racing's all part of it and
cars are part of it, but there's also
stories that make the actual show
interesting to watch.
Now new characters are eventually joined
into the second season to try and boost the
viewership.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the
show.
That and being on British television,
you're lucky if you can make it past two to
three seasons of a show.
(04:18):
It's funny, but they never really last that
long.
If you're a person like me and you've seen
show mrs brown's boys, I'm sorry that show
could have went on for like another two
seasons.
It had tons of content.
It was super hilarious.
I've watched the entire series twice and I
laugh at it every single time, just like
rory the racing car.
Now rory is a small, tiny little formula
(04:40):
ford racing car.
Number one is his number.
He's essentially a young race car driver
who's eager to learn the most about racing
so he one day can be a champion.
Essentially, he's a young Lewis Hamilton
entering the racing world where he wants to
be a champion.
Years down the road he'll be a champion.
He'll win it seven times and have one of
(05:00):
them essentially stripped from him.
But Rory the little red racing car with
white stripes essentially a Formula Ford
racing car, no spoiler on the back.
This thing is cool.
It's essentially modeled after the cars of
the 80s and early 90s, similar to what you
would have found Ayrton Senna racing in,
and if you've watched the series Senna on
(05:22):
Netflix, you'll even see cars that look
like Rory on the television series.
It's amazing.
Now Rory lives at Silverhatch and he has a
group of friends all comprising of
different forms of racing.
There's a Formula One car, a rally car, a
NASCAR, a drifter and occasionally a few
others will be thrown in.
But his friends make up some of the biggest
racing circuits in the world.
(05:42):
Like we said, drifting is big up some of
the biggest racing circuits in the world.
Like we said, drifting is big in Japan,
nascar is huge in the States, rally is big
everywhere and F1, well, everybody knows F1.
And every single one of them has a name.
But they all live in this world.
They're talking cars, they can speak to
each other, they use parts of the cars to
have hands, they have their eyes, so they
(06:04):
can actually be able to do stuff and
communicate and do things.
It's like the Cars world, just made for
little children.
Well, and kids at heart, because, trust me,
I love the show and I ain't no kid.
Trust me, I was a kid years, decades ago,
not anymore.
Well, there they have people that run the
track, actual people who work at the track.
(06:27):
That would be their site.
Mechanic and steward of Silver Hatch is Big
Chris.
Now, big Chris kind of reminds me of our
actual steward and head mechanic at my
local racetrack that my son and I go to.
We've become kind of good friends with the
person that runs that racetrack Subway
Cartways, if you ever want to check it out.
We're part of the actual circuit and we've
produced some great race car drivers from
(06:49):
there.
But Big Chris kind of reminds me of our
head honcho over at our racetrack.
Now there really isn't a Marsha.
Now Marsha isn't, I wouldn't say, big
Chris's love interest, but it's the female
interest of the show.
She's another steward but she does more for
safety aspects on the racetrack.
She keeps all the cars safe and usually
(07:09):
alerts everybody about the racetrack, like
any major issues that have happened on the
racetrack where Big Chris fixes a car in
the garage, lives close by and stands in
the tower.
He's the announcer, the general steward.
He waves the checkered flag and tells them
to go, go, go.
That's always one of the greatest things is
when they take off.
He's so energetic.
(07:29):
Watching Big Chris is kind of like watching
a soccer game in Central America.
He has so much energy and is so involved in
racing, just like the owner and General
Stewart of our racetrack, my hometown.
Next to this we have Mr Antonio or Tony
Carburetor.
He's the owner of Silver Hatch.
(07:50):
Funny thing is is they kind of do a play on
greasy Italian.
You can get mad at me for saying that or
anything else, but watch the show and trust
me, tony Carburetor is essentially a
stereotype of an owner of a racetrack.
He's this greasy, laid-back guy that only
shows up when a big event is happening or
he wants to find out what the heck is
(08:10):
happening with all of his money.
What's going into this?
Next to that, his mom shows up, mrs
Carburetor, and they get there by flying in
on none other than Helly the Helicopter.
It's kind of funny to watch Mr Carburetor's
mom just appear from a helicopter.
In the helicopter, like everything in this
universe of Rory the racing car can all
(08:31):
talk, every piece of machinery, as long as
it's got a motor and it runs.
It's there Outside of the racetrack, we
have Farmer Jeffrey or Jeff Green kind of
funny who has his own pickup truck, fb.
Fb is a second-generation Ford F-Series
pickup truck.
It's green and is the Farmer Green's main
vehicle.
(08:51):
It's got to get around right.
Next to this, we have some other people
that show up.
There's PC Pete, the big Christine.
There's Copter Keith Graham.
Murray Walker, famous race car driver,
shows up Flash, who's literally brought in
between the end of the second and third
seasons, mole man who works with him, and
Dinky and Dinky is another female aspect of
the show.
Flash and Mole man are always getting up to
(09:12):
no good.
You have to have that one person that
creates a little bit of you know, humor
into the TV series when all kids need
something that's going to keep them
entertained and also give them something
else to watch Other than the whole show
being centered around racing cars.
Flash and Woman were added to the series to
give something more.
They needed to create that more kids show
aspect because they realized after the
(09:33):
first season that the show can't just be
about Rory and his friends.
They have to have something else.
You need some form of humor.
Now Big Chris is already in there, big
Chris dropping his tools or going through
some stuff, waking up late.
Like we said, big Chris lives right next to
the racetrack.
He lives in an old trailer or on the other
side of the pond, a caravan who's named
(09:54):
Rusty.
It's a small, tiny little trailer.
It's the home of Big Chris.
He home with Big Chris.
He lives close and you go into it and it's
all like race car memorabilia.
It's got tools, it's got old cups.
It's everything you've come to expect for
somebody who lives and works at the
racetrack.
Essentially, big Chris showcases to us what
you would come to expect at any racetrack
that you go to.
There's always somebody there that works on
(10:15):
everything, keeps everybody running, is so
dedicated to the racetrack that it's their
life, whether it be the owner or just a
lead mechanic.
It's their life and that's what they love
to do.
Big chris is that and he emphasizes every
single part of it.
Like I said, our racetrack that my son
races at we have somebody who reminds me of
big chris and I guarantee if I went down
(10:35):
south and went to some of the other ones in
hamilton or flamborough or outside of
peterborough, I'd find people there that
are just like Big Chris as well.
Same with an owner like Mr Carburetor or a
steward like Marsha.
There's people like that all over the place.
Pcp is the policeman.
He tries to keep everything under control.
Now, the funniest thing with PCP, when he
(10:56):
shows up.
He shows up in his car.
Pcp, his funny little car, is Nick.
Nick always wanted to be a race car and the
funniest thing about Nick, he's a
Lamborghini Gallardo, essentially made as a
police car.
So he's showcasing the police aspect of
Lamborghini supercars that they've made in
Italy.
Pcp shows up in a Lamborghini.
Now we all get it why Nick wants to go out
(11:17):
and play on the racetrack.
He's got to abide by the law and live to
all those rules, but he wants to go out and
have fun because he knows deep down inside
he's a race car at heart.
He's got the power, he's got the technology
and he's got the design to make it so he
can race around that track and keep up to
Rory and all of his friends.
He's got to be there, rory the racing car,
but Ferrari the racing car.
(11:38):
But unfortunately Nick never gets that
chance because PCP is so buttoned down with
his police duties he will not let Nick ever
get involved with anything that's against
the rules.
And racing outside of the track or even
sometimes on the track, if you're not built
for that purpose is not playing by the
rules.
Now, we all know about people like this
right Now.
The funniest thing with Big Chris is when
(11:59):
Big Chris has to go around and there's an
accident on the racetrack.
He hops into his own vehicle and goes out
and saves the day.
He has his own pickup truck called Pludger.
The Pludger is actually based off of a
Mitsubishi Triton tow truck.
It is used as the emergency vehicle at the
racetrack.
But when you see it, you look at it and
like that looks familiar.
(12:20):
I think I know where that vehicle's from.
Well, now you know it's a Mitsubishi Triton,
which midsize pickup trucks in the European
marketplace are huge business and
Mitsubishi is one of the bigger players in
that field and Mitsubishi has pushed
themselves onto a lot of these racetracks
as well as emergency or safety vehicles.
So why not just give the job to Mitsubishi
(12:41):
and its Triton as being the emergency
vehicle?
On Silverhatch?
Now Silverhatch, like we said in the name,
comes from both racetracks, okay, but
Silverhatch also takes a lot of its
inspiration from both of the tracks it
plays off of.
There's a lot of aspects from Silverstone
on that racetrack and it gives us the
(13:02):
ability to really see the amazing work that
goes into designing and running some of
these racetracks.
Now, silverhatch is a huge track and when
you watch the races when Rory and all of
his half the episode of them just trying to
get around this racetrack which is funny
(13:22):
because Silverhatch should actually have a
closer name to being Nürburgring, but since
it comes from Great Britain, you have to
have a British racetrack name in it.
So technically, silver has to be the first
part of the name, because Silverstone is
one of the most famous British race car
tracks of all time and they still race
formula one there to this day.
(13:43):
That's one of the first f1 tracks that mr
sir lewis hamilton got to try out.
Now, with all these different cars in the
series.
Like we said, fb's an old f1 f series.
Nick is a lamborghini.
They also have some other vehicles that get
around and some that don't even talk.
Like rusty, the old trailer the big chris
lives in doesn't talk at all.
It's not living along with zippy zippy's, a
(14:05):
vespa scooter.
It does not speak at all, like nearly every
other vehicle speaks, but they don't.
It's not like heli.
Heli comes down and could say he's bringing
mrs carburetor into visit.
She wants to see the big race and wants to
see rory against his friends now.
Now, like we said in the beginning, rory's
got a whole bunch of different friends and
his friends are there to make the race more
(14:27):
fun.
Like we said, there's a Formula One car, a
rally car, a NASCAR and a drift car.
There's a couple other race cars that
appear during the series, but none of them
are in every single one.
Next to Rory, his good friend and
essentially, essentially first love
interest, because he is a little bit
younger, is cc, the rally car.
Now, she's easy to find because she's pink
and she's number three, which is kind of
(14:48):
funny because her number is higher up than
the formula one car.
So cc is essentially rory's love interest
and best friend.
She's very accident prone due to the
corners on silver hatch.
She's a rally car.
She's not good.
Well, she is good at corners, but she's
good at corners in the dirt, not on asphalt
which they're racing on.
The coolest thing with cc is cc is actually
(15:10):
a hybrid racing car, so she's actually
ahead of the game because at this point in
time, you gotta remember the show came out
in 2007 and ran until late 2010.
There were no hybrid rally cars back then.
Now we all get it.
There's some sort of hybridization to
racing cars for a long time because of the
fuel cell stacks in them, but she's
actually a dedicated hybrid with a battery
(15:31):
service.
When she cruises up at slow speeds, you
barely even hear her.
She's essentially a Prius rally car, so
you're going to hand it to Rory.
Being a Formula Ford and falling in love
with a Prius, he's looking out for the
environment and his future livelihood in
this racing circuit.
Now, naturally because it's his love
interest and it's got to be the female
accomplice.
She's pink with white stripes and, like we
(15:51):
said, she's a rally car and a little
accident prone because of all the corners
on the track.
She's used to jumping over hills and taking
the dirt by storm not pavement but it's all
part of the good fun that is the race at
Silverhatch.
Now Rory good friend, somebody he looks up
to, but somebody he also is constantly
racing against all the time is Maxi.
(16:14):
Maxi is a former Formula One race car.
He's won a championship, so he thinks he's
better than everyone else.
He's on top.
He's the F1.
He thinks he's better than everyone else.
He's on top.
He's the f1 car.
He's better than a formula ford.
He's better than a rally car.
He's better than a nascar.
He's on top of the world.
And since he has a championship, he's
better than everyone else in the world
because he won the championship of the
racing series, of racing series, which
(16:36):
makes him a hot tempered formula one race
car.
He's always eager to beat Rory at any of
the races and when he does win, he loves to
show off.
He makes it very apparent that he won the
race and he shoves it in everyone else's
face.
But also, being with you know, hot tempered.
He's also arrogant and it shows people that
there are people like that at the racetrack.
(16:58):
Rory came in as the youngster wanting to
learn and wanting to be good.
He is good, but he still wants to learn
more because he figures, even if I'm
winning all the races, I am the best at
this racetrack.
I'm never the best in the world.
Even if I get named the best in the world,
there'll always be somebody who can come up
and teach you something else.
Maxi is the other side of it.
He's arrogant, hot-tempered and thinks
(17:19):
they're the best and doesn't think anyone
else can teach him.
Sound kind of familiar.
Sound a lot like a few Formula One drivers
you may have heard of.
Yeah, there's been a few Formula One
drivers in history that, once they've won
the championship, they think they're better
than everyone else and they get this
arrogance to them that they're better than
everyone else and they get this arrogance
to them that they're better.
Yeah, looking at you arrogant F1 drivers
Not all of you, just the ones that are a
(17:40):
little arrogant to people.
I see this even in IndyCar too.
There's a few drivers.
When I go to get autographs when I'm at the
Honda Indy in Toronto, I try and avoid them
because it's like, yeah, they're not going
to make time for anyone and it shows they
used to be champions and now they're not
winning as many races and they think
they're still better than everyone else.
But it's like, yeah, you were good, you
know, 10 years ago.
After Maxi comes the American brute Painted
(18:01):
blue and white with a little bit of red to
indicate that he's an American race car.
It's red, white and blue.
Right America Comes, tintop.
Tintop comes from the NASCAR series.
The funny thing is is just like CC, he's
accident prone.
But he's not accident prone because he
needs to learn a lot about the track and is
not used to driving on dirt tracks.
(18:22):
No, tintop is accident prone because,
silverhatch, you have to turn right on,
when we all know that NASCAR vehicles are
more likely to have to turn constantly left
Ooh, left turn, left turn, ooh.
What's that?
Again no-transcript stock car of that
(19:06):
driver that I got in the 90s when he was
pretty close to the peak of his career Lake
Speed.
I'm not joking, that's his name.
Lake Speed Got a last name Speed.
It's like, well, you gotta go into racing,
right, but lake speed had number 88.
That's the reason why I chose that stock
car, because 88 is my favorite number, but
the colors on it were blue and white with a
(19:26):
bit of red, just like tin top.
Lake speed also had an issue when they had
to turn right on racetrack.
So when he was on walk-ins clan always ran
into issues because they had to turn right
fast on Super Oobles, because they're just
turning left all the time but trying to
turn right, that's a different story, just
like Tintop being a NASCAR.
Now the last of Rory's friends is one of
(19:47):
the great ones that you would find.
Funny thing is he actually uses the front
splitter as his hands to pick up stuff and
help Big Chris out a lot.
He's nice, he's humble, he knows, he's fast
and can take corners better than anyone
else at the track.
But even though he can take corners better
than everyone else, he never shows that he
is better, and that's Drifter.
Drifter is famous for drifting, essentially
(20:08):
based off of Orange Toyota Supra, which we
all remember.
Fast and the Furious bam, it's gotta be
Orange, gotta be a Supra.
We can go drifting, even though in that
movie they didn't drift, they drifted in
the third movie.
But Drifter is always humble.
He's nice, he's serene, he's great, help.
He's always picking up tools and helping
Big Chris out.
Anytime they got issues he goes up and
(20:28):
tries to calm Rory down.
Even when Rory wins the race, he's the
first one to say good job, rory.
He was rooting for the whole time, like how
humble is that?
Where a lot of kids will watch the show and
see that Rory inspires to be the best.
Drifter also showcases that you can be the
best friend even when your friend is
winning.
We don't need to be an arrogant, bad person
(20:49):
like Maxie.
We need to focus on being more like Rory
and Drifter and even Cece hell.
Even Tintop can take into consideration
some of his downfalls.
It makes the whole show fit together in a
great story for children.
But throughout the stories you have to add
in all kinds of other things.
You can't just have them going around the
racetrack every single episode.
(21:09):
No, they have to add in other things.
Eventually they added in a second love
interest to Rory, who was Breeze.
Now Breeze was a Myers-Manks dune buggy.
Remember that buggy that was made in the
United States based off of Volkswagen
Beetle platform?
The Myers-Manks Go back and watch any movie
from the 1970s and they got one of those
dune buggies in them.
I don't know how many James Bond movies
(21:30):
I've seen dune buggies in too, but it's
always a Myers-Manks.
Breeze shows up as a second love interest
Doesn't want to race but likes to have fun
and likes to show Rory a good time outside
of the racetrack environment.
But to get there you can't always go and
have fun out in the bush, because Breeze
can go out in the bush, rory can't.
(21:51):
And when Rory goes places he needs someone
like Loda he's a lorry, a race car
transporter to bring Rory from place to
place.
Now he does go from place to place and
eventually meets up with some other race
cars during the show.
He meets both James and Conrad.
James is an Aston Martin DB5 convertible.
It's essentially Mamma Mia's car.
(22:11):
You know, mamma Mia Mia carburetor, it's
her car, it's how she gets around it.
Mamma Mia Mia, carburetor, it's her car,
it's how she gets around.
It's a classic, it's cool, it's British,
but it also likes to go fast.
Unlike Nick, conrad brings the Australian
racing appeal to Silverhatch when they show
up Based off of a Ford Falcon V8 supercar,
essentially from team Vodafone.
Remember Vodafone was a big cell phone deal
(22:34):
back in the day, back in the early days,
right from Great Britain as well.
They used to be on a Mercedes race car.
It was Vodafone and BlackBerry on the side
of them during the tech days of the early
2000s.
Conrad kind of gives a name and appeal over
the Australian race car industry to
Silverhatch, slowly working their way in
near the last season of the show.
(22:55):
Conrad could have become another friend to
Rory but unfortunately the show was cut too
short and we lost all of that aspect.
Before we can get Conrad into there, before
we can get Grand Touring Cars or Le Mans
racers, there were a lot of other racing
series that they could have thrown in there.
British Touring Car would have been one.
It would have been good.
But being British, conrad showed the
British appeal.
(23:16):
As I always say, they should have done
another rally car and they could have done
the Canadian rally car for another British
empire Off-road buggy race and you could
have run the Indian aspect.
There were so many avenues that Rory could
have gone to but unfortunately, after 104
seasons and a dying viewership, rory the
racing car was put out to pasture.
The show never really ended.
It really should have ended on a good note,
(23:38):
like Rory being invited to race in the
Formula One series.
But essentially Rory just ended on a
standard race car note he wins and that's
it.
So what happened to everyone?
What happened to Big Chris or Marsha or
Tony Carburetor in the end?
We don't know.
It's a kid's show.
We don't ask those questions about kid
shows.
You got to remember.
I watched Paw Patrol back in the day and
there were so many questions I had for that
(24:00):
show, like why would they do that?
Why is the bridge not tall enough?
Why are they waiting for the beaver to
cross the road?
Can't they just move the beaver out of the
way?
Like it's a kid's show you don't ask?
Those questions eventually showed up.
We didn't ask the question about why they
just eventually appeared living on the
racetrack.
We just thought they were always there and
they brought humor to the show.
(24:20):
Rory isn't just about a racing car and a
racetrack.
It's about a family essentially Family of
racing cars.
They're all friends and they're all vying
for that top spot of winning every day's
race.
Everybody wants to win but they all want to
put in the effort to make sure that they
have fun in a good time.
It likes to put a good note to things.
It likes to show you what can happen if you
(24:40):
allow all that winning and arrogance to go
to your head with Maxi.
But you can just be humble like Drifter.
Every aspect of the automotive racing world
has some sort of part in Rory the Racing
Car.
It shows track life in its full extent.
There are a lot of things in the show that
showed my son a lot of things that he
eventually learned when he started go-kart
racing a few years back, and even he was
(25:01):
one of the ones that said that the owner of
our racetrack reminds him of Big Chris.
Hell, they even have a trailer that they
hang out at at the track.
Like Big Chris and he kind of looks like
him.
That's the funny thing.
But in all it was just a good show.
Rory was a great automotive show and for
myself, I consider it the best automotive
show for children, especially if they like
(25:23):
racing.
Rory shows the entire race car industry and
get you involved.
The episodes aren't super long and drawn
out to make you start questioning them.
They're fun, they're good, they're humorous
and they got every aspect that you would
ask for in a race car series when Paw
Patrol shows us the automotive industry in
all of its context, with more of solving
(25:43):
crime and saving the day.
Rory is all about winning the day, being
good friends and learning how to respect
each other.
That's why Rory the Racing Car is one of my
favorite kid shows of all time.
Sure, it will never knock down Inspector
Gadget or the Simpsons, but when it comes
to a short episode kid show for the
(26:03):
entry-level child, rory the Racing Car will
always be there for me and it's a show that
I hope will stay online and allow us to see
it for years to come.
It's actually a show that I wish the
Formula One channel would add to it,
because if you want to get your kids into
F1, rory could be that catalyst to get them
there, all from a little red racing car
that just wants to learn and have a good
(26:25):
time.

ride through your childhood with Rory the
Racing Car.
You.
Well, I found this show just by accident
when my son was little, just scrolling
through YouTube one day on my phone and I
found it.
I'm like, oh, okay, we'll check this out,
watch this video.
And it's just like whoa, this is
eye-opening.
It has everything I love about vehicles all
in one place, and it's a kid's show and the
episodes are short.
Another show that's this short didn't
(00:21):
appear until we got bluey, but like 10,15
minutes per episode.
Your attention span won't be wandering off
for a long tv series, especially when
you're really young and you can pay
attention to these great things with
vibrant colors, cool names and a racing car.
I didn't realize it, but I was introduced
to this show through a book.
My son had gotten around the time he was
(00:41):
two.
We found it at a thrift store, made noise,
there's a little button on it you could
push and it's a horn that was honking.
You push it and it went beep, beep and the
little car that was a star of this show was
in the book.
My son loved the book.
I used to read it, but I never realized
this was a TV series.
I thought it was just a book.
But when I Only, lasting from 2007 to 2010,
(01:02):
with 104 episodes.
Rory the Racing Car came into my life as he
is, as a racing car, essentially as an F2
racing car.
Rory became a part of my life and when my
daughter was younger, it was one of her
favorite shows to watch.
Today, rory may be over and done with and
it's a show that came out before both of my
(01:23):
children were ever born, but it's played
such a big role in our hearts With all the
vehicles it introduced you to.
The automotive world is alive and well in
this cartoon more than any other one around.
So today, autolux is going to be taking a
look at one of our most favorite kid shows
of all time Rory the racing car.
(01:50):

So back in may of 2007, this little race
car joined the world.
We were first introduced to this little
race car through a famous voice that most
(02:53):
of us knew, sir sterling moss.
Yes, the famous f1 lamar driver, mr
sterling moss or in this case, sir sterling
moss, narrated the backdrop of the story
for us, so we would understand the show we
were about to watch, and right at the end,
he would say where the show was taking
place at a famous racetrack known as Silver
(03:14):
Hatch, essentially a merger of two famous
British racetracks Silverstone and Brands
Hatch.
It's kind of funny because there's lots of
racing that happens there In the United
States we had Sam Hornish Jr of IndyCar
fame as the narrator and, for a very select
few episodes, mr Lewis Hamilton or I'm
going to say it right, sir Lewis Hamilton
(03:36):
even narrated a bit of it and also Sir
Jackie Stewart.
So some very famous British race car
drivers were the narrators behind this
amazing show that centers around a bunch of
racing cars at a racetrack.
Now, if you've never seen Rory the Racing
Car, even if you're not into cars, it's a
show that you need to watch.
Like I said, it's literally centered around
(03:57):
a racetrack and racing's all part of it and
cars are part of it, but there's also
stories that make the actual show
interesting to watch.
Now new characters are eventually joined
into the second season to try and boost the
viewership.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the
show.
That and being on British television,
you're lucky if you can make it past two to
three seasons of a show.
(04:18):
It's funny, but they never really last that
long.
If you're a person like me and you've seen
show mrs brown's boys, I'm sorry that show
could have went on for like another two
seasons.
It had tons of content.
It was super hilarious.
I've watched the entire series twice and I
laugh at it every single time, just like
rory the racing car.
Now rory is a small, tiny little formula
(04:40):
ford racing car.
Number one is his number.
He's essentially a young race car driver
who's eager to learn the most about racing
so he one day can be a champion.
Essentially, he's a young Lewis Hamilton
entering the racing world where he wants to
be a champion.
Years down the road he'll be a champion.
He'll win it seven times and have one of
(05:00):
them essentially stripped from him.
But Rory the little red racing car with
white stripes essentially a Formula Ford
racing car, no spoiler on the back.
This thing is cool.
It's essentially modeled after the cars of
the 80s and early 90s, similar to what you
would have found Ayrton Senna racing in,
and if you've watched the series Senna on
(05:22):
Netflix, you'll even see cars that look
like Rory on the television series.
It's amazing.
Now Rory lives at Silverhatch and he has a
group of friends all comprising of
different forms of racing.
There's a Formula One car, a rally car, a
NASCAR, a drifter and occasionally a few
others will be thrown in.
But his friends make up some of the biggest
racing circuits in the world.
(05:42):
Like we said, drifting is big up some of
the biggest racing circuits in the world.
Like we said, drifting is big in Japan,
nascar is huge in the States, rally is big
everywhere and F1, well, everybody knows F1.
And every single one of them has a name.
But they all live in this world.
They're talking cars, they can speak to
each other, they use parts of the cars to
have hands, they have their eyes, so they
(06:04):
can actually be able to do stuff and
communicate and do things.
It's like the Cars world, just made for
little children.
Well, and kids at heart, because, trust me,
I love the show and I ain't no kid.
Trust me, I was a kid years, decades ago,
not anymore.
Well, there they have people that run the
track, actual people who work at the track.
(06:27):
That would be their site.
Mechanic and steward of Silver Hatch is Big
Chris.
Now, big Chris kind of reminds me of our
actual steward and head mechanic at my
local racetrack that my son and I go to.
We've become kind of good friends with the
person that runs that racetrack Subway
Cartways, if you ever want to check it out.
We're part of the actual circuit and we've
produced some great race car drivers from
(06:49):
there.
But Big Chris kind of reminds me of our
head honcho over at our racetrack.
Now there really isn't a Marsha.
Now Marsha isn't, I wouldn't say, big
Chris's love interest, but it's the female
interest of the show.
She's another steward but she does more for
safety aspects on the racetrack.
She keeps all the cars safe and usually
(07:09):
alerts everybody about the racetrack, like
any major issues that have happened on the
racetrack where Big Chris fixes a car in
the garage, lives close by and stands in
the tower.
He's the announcer, the general steward.
He waves the checkered flag and tells them
to go, go, go.
That's always one of the greatest things is
when they take off.
He's so energetic.
(07:29):
Watching Big Chris is kind of like watching
a soccer game in Central America.
He has so much energy and is so involved in
racing, just like the owner and General
Stewart of our racetrack, my hometown.
Next to this we have Mr Antonio or Tony
Carburetor.
He's the owner of Silver Hatch.
(07:50):
Funny thing is is they kind of do a play on
greasy Italian.
You can get mad at me for saying that or
anything else, but watch the show and trust
me, tony Carburetor is essentially a
stereotype of an owner of a racetrack.
He's this greasy, laid-back guy that only
shows up when a big event is happening or
he wants to find out what the heck is
(08:10):
happening with all of his money.
What's going into this?
Next to that, his mom shows up, mrs
Carburetor, and they get there by flying in
on none other than Helly the Helicopter.
It's kind of funny to watch Mr Carburetor's
mom just appear from a helicopter.
In the helicopter, like everything in this
universe of Rory the racing car can all
(08:31):
talk, every piece of machinery, as long as
it's got a motor and it runs.
It's there Outside of the racetrack, we
have Farmer Jeffrey or Jeff Green kind of
funny who has his own pickup truck, fb.
Fb is a second-generation Ford F-Series
pickup truck.
It's green and is the Farmer Green's main
vehicle.
(08:51):
It's got to get around right.
Next to this, we have some other people
that show up.
There's PC Pete, the big Christine.
There's Copter Keith Graham.
Murray Walker, famous race car driver,
shows up Flash, who's literally brought in
between the end of the second and third
seasons, mole man who works with him, and
Dinky and Dinky is another female aspect of
the show.
Flash and Mole man are always getting up to
(09:12):
no good.
You have to have that one person that
creates a little bit of you know, humor
into the TV series when all kids need
something that's going to keep them
entertained and also give them something
else to watch Other than the whole show
being centered around racing cars.
Flash and Woman were added to the series to
give something more.
They needed to create that more kids show
aspect because they realized after the
(09:33):
first season that the show can't just be
about Rory and his friends.
They have to have something else.
You need some form of humor.
Now Big Chris is already in there, big
Chris dropping his tools or going through
some stuff, waking up late.
Like we said, big Chris lives right next to
the racetrack.
He lives in an old trailer or on the other
side of the pond, a caravan who's named
(09:54):
Rusty.
It's a small, tiny little trailer.
It's the home of Big Chris.
He home with Big Chris.
He lives close and you go into it and it's
all like race car memorabilia.
It's got tools, it's got old cups.
It's everything you've come to expect for
somebody who lives and works at the
racetrack.
Essentially, big Chris showcases to us what
you would come to expect at any racetrack
that you go to.
There's always somebody there that works on
(10:15):
everything, keeps everybody running, is so
dedicated to the racetrack that it's their
life, whether it be the owner or just a
lead mechanic.
It's their life and that's what they love
to do.
Big chris is that and he emphasizes every
single part of it.
Like I said, our racetrack that my son
races at we have somebody who reminds me of
big chris and I guarantee if I went down
(10:35):
south and went to some of the other ones in
hamilton or flamborough or outside of
peterborough, I'd find people there that
are just like Big Chris as well.
Same with an owner like Mr Carburetor or a
steward like Marsha.
There's people like that all over the place.
Pcp is the policeman.
He tries to keep everything under control.
Now, the funniest thing with PCP, when he
(10:56):
shows up.
He shows up in his car.
Pcp, his funny little car, is Nick.
Nick always wanted to be a race car and the
funniest thing about Nick, he's a
Lamborghini Gallardo, essentially made as a
police car.
So he's showcasing the police aspect of
Lamborghini supercars that they've made in
Italy.
Pcp shows up in a Lamborghini.
Now we all get it why Nick wants to go out
(11:17):
and play on the racetrack.
He's got to abide by the law and live to
all those rules, but he wants to go out and
have fun because he knows deep down inside
he's a race car at heart.
He's got the power, he's got the technology
and he's got the design to make it so he
can race around that track and keep up to
Rory and all of his friends.
He's got to be there, rory the racing car,
but Ferrari the racing car.
(11:38):
But unfortunately Nick never gets that
chance because PCP is so buttoned down with
his police duties he will not let Nick ever
get involved with anything that's against
the rules.
And racing outside of the track or even
sometimes on the track, if you're not built
for that purpose is not playing by the
rules.
Now, we all know about people like this
right Now.
The funniest thing with Big Chris is when
(11:59):
Big Chris has to go around and there's an
accident on the racetrack.
He hops into his own vehicle and goes out
and saves the day.
He has his own pickup truck called Pludger.
The Pludger is actually based off of a
Mitsubishi Triton tow truck.
It is used as the emergency vehicle at the
racetrack.
But when you see it, you look at it and
like that looks familiar.
(12:20):
I think I know where that vehicle's from.
Well, now you know it's a Mitsubishi Triton,
which midsize pickup trucks in the European
marketplace are huge business and
Mitsubishi is one of the bigger players in
that field and Mitsubishi has pushed
themselves onto a lot of these racetracks
as well as emergency or safety vehicles.
So why not just give the job to Mitsubishi
(12:41):
and its Triton as being the emergency
vehicle?
On Silverhatch?
Now Silverhatch, like we said in the name,
comes from both racetracks, okay, but
Silverhatch also takes a lot of its
inspiration from both of the tracks it
plays off of.
There's a lot of aspects from Silverstone
on that racetrack and it gives us the
(13:02):
ability to really see the amazing work that
goes into designing and running some of
these racetracks.
Now, silverhatch is a huge track and when
you watch the races when Rory and all of
his half the episode of them just trying to
get around this racetrack which is funny
(13:22):
because Silverhatch should actually have a
closer name to being Nürburgring, but since
it comes from Great Britain, you have to
have a British racetrack name in it.
So technically, silver has to be the first
part of the name, because Silverstone is
one of the most famous British race car
tracks of all time and they still race
formula one there to this day.
(13:43):
That's one of the first f1 tracks that mr
sir lewis hamilton got to try out.
Now, with all these different cars in the
series.
Like we said, fb's an old f1 f series.
Nick is a lamborghini.
They also have some other vehicles that get
around and some that don't even talk.
Like rusty, the old trailer the big chris
lives in doesn't talk at all.
It's not living along with zippy zippy's, a
(14:05):
vespa scooter.
It does not speak at all, like nearly every
other vehicle speaks, but they don't.
It's not like heli.
Heli comes down and could say he's bringing
mrs carburetor into visit.
She wants to see the big race and wants to
see rory against his friends now.
Now, like we said in the beginning, rory's
got a whole bunch of different friends and
his friends are there to make the race more
(14:27):
fun.
Like we said, there's a Formula One car, a
rally car, a NASCAR and a drift car.
There's a couple other race cars that
appear during the series, but none of them
are in every single one.
Next to Rory, his good friend and
essentially, essentially first love
interest, because he is a little bit
younger, is cc, the rally car.
Now, she's easy to find because she's pink
and she's number three, which is kind of
(14:48):
funny because her number is higher up than
the formula one car.
So cc is essentially rory's love interest
and best friend.
She's very accident prone due to the
corners on silver hatch.
She's a rally car.
She's not good.
Well, she is good at corners, but she's
good at corners in the dirt, not on asphalt
which they're racing on.
The coolest thing with cc is cc is actually
(15:10):
a hybrid racing car, so she's actually
ahead of the game because at this point in
time, you gotta remember the show came out
in 2007 and ran until late 2010.
There were no hybrid rally cars back then.
Now we all get it.
There's some sort of hybridization to
racing cars for a long time because of the
fuel cell stacks in them, but she's
actually a dedicated hybrid with a battery
(15:31):
service.
When she cruises up at slow speeds, you
barely even hear her.
She's essentially a Prius rally car, so
you're going to hand it to Rory.
Being a Formula Ford and falling in love
with a Prius, he's looking out for the
environment and his future livelihood in
this racing circuit.
Now, naturally because it's his love
interest and it's got to be the female
accomplice.
She's pink with white stripes and, like we
(15:51):
said, she's a rally car and a little
accident prone because of all the corners
on the track.
She's used to jumping over hills and taking
the dirt by storm not pavement but it's all
part of the good fun that is the race at
Silverhatch.
Now Rory good friend, somebody he looks up
to, but somebody he also is constantly
racing against all the time is Maxi.
(16:14):
Maxi is a former Formula One race car.
He's won a championship, so he thinks he's
better than everyone else.
He's on top.
He's the F1.
He thinks he's better than everyone else.
He's on top.
He's the f1 car.
He's better than a formula ford.
He's better than a rally car.
He's better than a nascar.
He's on top of the world.
And since he has a championship, he's
better than everyone else in the world
because he won the championship of the
racing series, of racing series, which
(16:36):
makes him a hot tempered formula one race
car.
He's always eager to beat Rory at any of
the races and when he does win, he loves to
show off.
He makes it very apparent that he won the
race and he shoves it in everyone else's
face.
But also, being with you know, hot tempered.
He's also arrogant and it shows people that
there are people like that at the racetrack.
(16:58):
Rory came in as the youngster wanting to
learn and wanting to be good.
He is good, but he still wants to learn
more because he figures, even if I'm
winning all the races, I am the best at
this racetrack.
I'm never the best in the world.
Even if I get named the best in the world,
there'll always be somebody who can come up
and teach you something else.
Maxi is the other side of it.
He's arrogant, hot-tempered and thinks
(17:19):
they're the best and doesn't think anyone
else can teach him.
Sound kind of familiar.
Sound a lot like a few Formula One drivers
you may have heard of.
Yeah, there's been a few Formula One
drivers in history that, once they've won
the championship, they think they're better
than everyone else and they get this
arrogance to them that they're better than
everyone else and they get this arrogance
to them that they're better.
Yeah, looking at you arrogant F1 drivers
Not all of you, just the ones that are a
(17:40):
little arrogant to people.
I see this even in IndyCar too.
There's a few drivers.
When I go to get autographs when I'm at the
Honda Indy in Toronto, I try and avoid them
because it's like, yeah, they're not going
to make time for anyone and it shows they
used to be champions and now they're not
winning as many races and they think
they're still better than everyone else.
But it's like, yeah, you were good, you
know, 10 years ago.
After Maxi comes the American brute Painted
(18:01):
blue and white with a little bit of red to
indicate that he's an American race car.
It's red, white and blue.
Right America Comes, tintop.
Tintop comes from the NASCAR series.
The funny thing is is just like CC, he's
accident prone.
But he's not accident prone because he
needs to learn a lot about the track and is
not used to driving on dirt tracks.
(18:22):
No, tintop is accident prone because,
silverhatch, you have to turn right on,
when we all know that NASCAR vehicles are
more likely to have to turn constantly left
Ooh, left turn, left turn, ooh.
What's that?
Again no-transcript stock car of that
(19:06):
driver that I got in the 90s when he was
pretty close to the peak of his career Lake
Speed.
I'm not joking, that's his name.
Lake Speed Got a last name Speed.
It's like, well, you gotta go into racing,
right, but lake speed had number 88.
That's the reason why I chose that stock
car, because 88 is my favorite number, but
the colors on it were blue and white with a
(19:26):
bit of red, just like tin top.
Lake speed also had an issue when they had
to turn right on racetrack.
So when he was on walk-ins clan always ran
into issues because they had to turn right
fast on Super Oobles, because they're just
turning left all the time but trying to
turn right, that's a different story, just
like Tintop being a NASCAR.
Now the last of Rory's friends is one of
(19:47):
the great ones that you would find.
Funny thing is he actually uses the front
splitter as his hands to pick up stuff and
help Big Chris out a lot.
He's nice, he's humble, he knows, he's fast
and can take corners better than anyone
else at the track.
But even though he can take corners better
than everyone else, he never shows that he
is better, and that's Drifter.
Drifter is famous for drifting, essentially
(20:08):
based off of Orange Toyota Supra, which we
all remember.
Fast and the Furious bam, it's gotta be
Orange, gotta be a Supra.
We can go drifting, even though in that
movie they didn't drift, they drifted in
the third movie.
But Drifter is always humble.
He's nice, he's serene, he's great, help.
He's always picking up tools and helping
Big Chris out.
Anytime they got issues he goes up and
(20:28):
tries to calm Rory down.
Even when Rory wins the race, he's the
first one to say good job, rory.
He was rooting for the whole time, like how
humble is that?
Where a lot of kids will watch the show and
see that Rory inspires to be the best.
Drifter also showcases that you can be the
best friend even when your friend is
winning.
We don't need to be an arrogant, bad person
(20:49):
like Maxie.
We need to focus on being more like Rory
and Drifter and even Cece hell.
Even Tintop can take into consideration
some of his downfalls.
It makes the whole show fit together in a
great story for children.
But throughout the stories you have to add
in all kinds of other things.
You can't just have them going around the
racetrack every single episode.
(21:09):
No, they have to add in other things.
Eventually they added in a second love
interest to Rory, who was Breeze.
Now Breeze was a Myers-Manks dune buggy.
Remember that buggy that was made in the
United States based off of Volkswagen
Beetle platform?
The Myers-Manks Go back and watch any movie
from the 1970s and they got one of those
dune buggies in them.
I don't know how many James Bond movies
(21:30):
I've seen dune buggies in too, but it's
always a Myers-Manks.
Breeze shows up as a second love interest
Doesn't want to race but likes to have fun
and likes to show Rory a good time outside
of the racetrack environment.
But to get there you can't always go and
have fun out in the bush, because Breeze
can go out in the bush, rory can't.
(21:51):
And when Rory goes places he needs someone
like Loda he's a lorry, a race car
transporter to bring Rory from place to
place.
Now he does go from place to place and
eventually meets up with some other race
cars during the show.
He meets both James and Conrad.
James is an Aston Martin DB5 convertible.
It's essentially Mamma Mia's car.
(22:11):
You know, mamma Mia Mia carburetor, it's
her car, it's how she gets around it.
Mamma Mia Mia, carburetor, it's her car,
it's how she gets around.
It's a classic, it's cool, it's British,
but it also likes to go fast.
Unlike Nick, conrad brings the Australian
racing appeal to Silverhatch when they show
up Based off of a Ford Falcon V8 supercar,
essentially from team Vodafone.
Remember Vodafone was a big cell phone deal
(22:34):
back in the day, back in the early days,
right from Great Britain as well.
They used to be on a Mercedes race car.
It was Vodafone and BlackBerry on the side
of them during the tech days of the early
2000s.
Conrad kind of gives a name and appeal over
the Australian race car industry to
Silverhatch, slowly working their way in
near the last season of the show.
(22:55):
Conrad could have become another friend to
Rory but unfortunately the show was cut too
short and we lost all of that aspect.
Before we can get Conrad into there, before
we can get Grand Touring Cars or Le Mans
racers, there were a lot of other racing
series that they could have thrown in there.
British Touring Car would have been one.
It would have been good.
But being British, conrad showed the
British appeal.
(23:16):
As I always say, they should have done
another rally car and they could have done
the Canadian rally car for another British
empire Off-road buggy race and you could
have run the Indian aspect.
There were so many avenues that Rory could
have gone to but unfortunately, after 104
seasons and a dying viewership, rory the
racing car was put out to pasture.
The show never really ended.
It really should have ended on a good note,
(23:38):
like Rory being invited to race in the
Formula One series.
But essentially Rory just ended on a
standard race car note he wins and that's
it.
So what happened to everyone?
What happened to Big Chris or Marsha or
Tony Carburetor in the end?
We don't know.
It's a kid's show.
We don't ask those questions about kid
shows.
You got to remember.
I watched Paw Patrol back in the day and
there were so many questions I had for that
(24:00):
show, like why would they do that?
Why is the bridge not tall enough?
Why are they waiting for the beaver to
cross the road?
Can't they just move the beaver out of the
way?
Like it's a kid's show you don't ask?
Those questions eventually showed up.
We didn't ask the question about why they
just eventually appeared living on the
racetrack.
We just thought they were always there and
they brought humor to the show.
(24:20):
Rory isn't just about a racing car and a
racetrack.
It's about a family essentially Family of
racing cars.
They're all friends and they're all vying
for that top spot of winning every day's
race.
Everybody wants to win but they all want to
put in the effort to make sure that they
have fun in a good time.
It likes to put a good note to things.
It likes to show you what can happen if you
(24:40):
allow all that winning and arrogance to go
to your head with Maxi.
But you can just be humble like Drifter.
Every aspect of the automotive racing world
has some sort of part in Rory the Racing
Car.
It shows track life in its full extent.
There are a lot of things in the show that
showed my son a lot of things that he
eventually learned when he started go-kart
racing a few years back, and even he was
(25:01):
one of the ones that said that the owner of
our racetrack reminds him of Big Chris.
Hell, they even have a trailer that they
hang out at at the track.
Like Big Chris and he kind of looks like
him.
That's the funny thing.
But in all it was just a good show.
Rory was a great automotive show and for
myself, I consider it the best automotive
show for children, especially if they like
(25:23):
racing.
Rory shows the entire race car industry and
get you involved.
The episodes aren't super long and drawn
out to make you start questioning them.
They're fun, they're good, they're humorous
and they got every aspect that you would
ask for in a race car series when Paw
Patrol shows us the automotive industry in
all of its context, with more of solving
(25:43):
crime and saving the day.
Rory is all about winning the day, being
good friends and learning how to respect
each other.
That's why Rory the Racing Car is one of my
favorite kid shows of all time.
Sure, it will never knock down Inspector
Gadget or the Simpsons, but when it comes
to a short episode kid show for the
(26:03):
entry-level child, rory the Racing Car will
always be there for me and it's a show that
I hope will stay online and allow us to see
it for years to come.
It's actually a show that I wish the
Formula One channel would add to it,
because if you want to get your kids into
F1, rory could be that catalyst to get them
there, all from a little red racing car
that just wants to learn and have a good
(26:25):
time.
