Kids on the coast

V8 Supercar champion Craig Lowndes is set to make his children’s television debut on the popular ABC for Kids series, Roary the Racing Car, early next year. Lowndes will provide the voice for a character called Conrod, named after the famous straight at the Bathurst race track where Lowndes found fame. Craig said his kids absolutely love watching Roary and that he had “moved into super cool dad status” since being involved in the show.
