1	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roary_1024x576.jpg]] ''Roary the Racing Car'' is a British children's clay-mation show about a perky young race car, his fellow racing cars of various nations and the pit crew. The show debuted in 2007.
2	----
3	!Examples of the following tropes
4	* AerithAndBob: Roary, Maxi, Chris, Marsha, ''Drifter'', ''Tin Top'', ''Flash'' and ''Molecom''.
5	* AIGettingHigh: Maxi drinks the “racing rain juice”, which causes him to move much faster than normal, but eventually causes him to misjudge his speed, and also have an accident.
6	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: When Maxi is barred from racing in “Testing Time for Maxi”, Roary is the one to comfort him.
7	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Roary and Cici.
8	* ChronicallyCrashedCar - Tintop
9	* CallItKarma - The cars always get what they deserve when they do something wrong or stupid.
10	* CameraAbuse - Tintop crashes into the camera as the cars dart off for a play race at the end of one episode. This also happened in another episode with Roary and Maxi, although it's Maxi who smashes the camera.
11	* EverythingIsBigInTexas - Tintop
12	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's about a racing car named Roary.
13	* AndIMustScream – Rusty, an abandoned caravan serving as the residence of Big Chris; while still active (and sentient), he had his wheels removed and sits on a pile of bricks.
14	* EarthSong: Drifter’s song “The Simple Things in Life”, is about the beauty of the natural world.
15	* FrenchJerk: Inverted. While Cici, the French girl, is very sweet and kind, Maxi is a huge jerkass and is Italian.
16	* HereWeGoAgain: "Roary goes back to school" ends with Maxi being sent back to school.
17	* HiccupHijinks: Maxi gets the hiccups in one episode, and nearly has a nasty accident.
18	* InnocentInnuendo: Mr. Carburettor's birthday suit is full of hints pointing to Mr Carburettor stripping naked, yet his "birthday suit" was actually just a suit he received on his birthday.
19	* JustAStupidAccent – Played straight in-your-face oh-so-often.
20	* JerkAss - Maxi, potentially JerkJock as well.
21	* KidHero - Roary, also a RookieRedRanger.
22	* TheKiddieRide - Roary himself has been made into one, by Jolly Roger Rides.
23	* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: Humans, anthropomorphic vehicles, ''and'' anthropomorphic animals co-exist.
24	* MediumBlending: The show uses a mixture of stop motion and CGI.
25	* MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou: "Maxi, I've seen a ''tractor'' stop quicker than that"
26	* NationalStereotypes: Some of the cars act like national stereotypes. Italian Maxi is loud and brash, Japanese Drifter is quiet and reserved.
27	* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed - Silver Hatch racetrack is an obvious reference to the two main British motor-racing tracks: Silverstone Circuit and Brands Hatch.
28	* NoodleIncident: Loada references several in "Let's hear it from Big Chris".
29	* PunnyName - Roary (as in "roar" of engines), Cici (CC), Marsha the Marshall, Molecom the mole and so on. Drifter's name refers to Japanese Drift racing, while Maxi thinks he's the greatest.
30	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Cici and Tintop.
31	* RedIsHeroic: Roary.
32	* ShoutOut: "Maxi's New Engine" is this to Lamborghini. Maxi is presumably a Ferrari, and as the story goes, Ferrucio Lamborghini owned several Ferraris, in which he found several flaws. He pointed these out to Enzo Ferrari, who teased Feruccio Lamborghini for being a tractor company.
33	* SixthRanger - Conrod the Australian V8 Supercar.
34	* SmurfettePrinciple – Among the recurring cars, Cici plays this straight (Zippy the scooter's gender is indeterminate as it only speaks in beeps).
35	* SleepDeprivation: Big Chris was feeling this way in "Workshop Roary", after all the hard work he put into making the pit lane and race track clean. Another example was in "Roary's Wake Up Call", where Big Chris and the cars sans Roary couldn't fall asleep due to Mr. Carbuerettor's singing, and [[spoiler:they fall asleep on the racetrack]].
36	* SpecialGuest / CelebrityStar - Legendary UsefulNotes/FormulaOne commentator Murray Walker turns up in one episode as a replacement commentator.
37	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics - Cici is female. You know this because she's pink and has eyelashes on her headlights.
38	* TomboyishBaseballCap: Marsha wears a red cap with a checkered logo.
39	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Cici and Marsha are the only main female characters.
40	* V8EngineNoises: Inverted. Drifter's engine should sound loud and throaty, being that he's presumably a Nissan GTR, yet instead, his engine is almost silent.
41	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead – Tintop all over.
42	* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Back in the day, Rusty was a young, attractive, mobile caravan, and yearns to have the same attention he did back then.
