Not long after the Enduring Spirit expansion was released, the third GRID Legends DLC expansion has arrived, with the Rise of Ravenwest DLC adding four new cars, a classic track, and new chapters for the Driven to Glory story mode.
GRID Legends Rise of Ravenwest
Whereas the last expansion was all about endurance racing, the third Grid Legends expansion focuses on Ravenwest Motorsport’s Nathan McKane, the antagonist of the GRID series who made his live-action debut in the Driven to Glory story mode.
11 new story chapters chronicle the rise of the Ravenwest team in the GRID World Series Championships.
Highlighting the key moments that led to Nathan McKane’s five GRID World Series titles, each era has a unique visual style inspired by older GRID games, from Ravenwest’s first appearance in the early 2000s up to Race Driver: GRID and beyond.
Four new cars
As well as the new story chapters, the Rise of Ravenwest expansion includes four new cars that “represent the evolution and undertone of Ravenwest.”
The Rise of Ravenwest DLC includes the following cars:
BMW 320 Turbo Group 5
1967 Chevrolet Corvette
1971 Plymouth GTX
1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

In addition, there are three new sponsored Career Events along with new icons, liveries, and banners plus ten new achievements and trophies.
“Constantly racing with a chip on his shoulder, navigating family expectations and criticism from the media, this new DLC gives us the opportunity to explore the story behind the series’ antagonist. There is more to his ‘take no prisoners’ racing style and ‘win at all costs’ mentality than the eye can see,” said Paul Lovell, Senior Games Designer at Codemasters.
“We invite players to dig deeper into the story of one of the most interesting and controversial characters within the GRID universe, fighting off the competition and ensuring Ravenwest’s success no matter the cost.”
The GRID Legends Rise of Ravenwest pack is available now. It can be purchased for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC, or is included as part of the Deluxe Edition at no extra charge.
