Let me know if there anything missing.

The member Ferrarist started one that was quite good. No activity within it for a couple of months.

The GP2 championship nearly died in the pipeline before tristan resurrected it.

The Lotus Racing League is not dead yet, it has just been stuck in a spiral of unmotivation.

I am planning to restart it around the time the F?RWRS seasons start, and make a couple of changes to tie it in with the RWRS universe.

DO IT.

And please make more news articles in the F1RMGP 2014 thread.

F1 Rejects Masters can be put as a "pipeline" - mostly because my computer is dying on me and I cannot even simulate a race, let alone recording the footage for broadcast.

I'm trying to pretend that my Robot Wars championship never existed at all, just a figment of our combined imagination.

Added. I'm not adding Robot Wars since it's not a racing series, as I'm not planning to add a proposed golf series.

Ran about 10 laps of the race this lunch time, boy have I missed it It is going to be an exciting race, I can tell.

After you post it, I'll happily put it in Revived.

After that...

Updated with formula1rpg (McFaste's) play-by-mail series and FORASCAR.

F1RPG wasn't started due to the creator's cancer.

I hope the fellow has recovered and beaten the disease. It's been an entire year since he was last here.

Well, his fictional character in F1RWRS died a sad death, and he made plans for the hand-over of his team there too. He made plans to leave, he didn't just disappear...

What that means, I don't know for certain.

I hope he wasn't forced into prolonged absence

Or even a permanent absence.

Updated with Flaschenpost's F1/F2... and Klon's (short-lived) revival of SRL.
