Hey team - we've kept you waiting long enough to find out what's coming to Season 2 for GRID, so let's jump straight in, shall we?
GRID’s next slate of post-launch content takes things up a gear, with Season 2 and the Track Day Supercars pack, launching February 12 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Six new cars, built for both beauty and speed, drop into GRID, alongside another Career mode expansion and the addition of a world-renowned circuit. Ultimate Edition players receive the full slate of content, and there’s plenty of additions that are free for all players, too.
So, let’s take a look at what’s coming next to GRID...
Track Day Supercars - Four New Cars
Season 2’s line-up of new cars is a stunning selection of exotic, powerful, ground-breaking machines, crafted by the world’s most famous manufacturers.
Ultimate Edition players receive access to the Ferrari FXX, Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro, Brabham BT62, and the Pagani Zonda Revolución. In Multiplayer, the Pagani Zonda will be available to race as a loan car for all players.
Two Bonus Cars
But that’s not all – the Track Day Supercar pack includes two more cars, available to everyone. Good luck taming the Ferrari 599XX Evo, and the Ford GT Heritage Edition – two more automotive monsters that dominate both the road and the racetrack.
New Circuit: Red Bull Ring
We’re once again adding to GRID’s list of circuits in Season 2, with a venue that’s been a staple of world motorsport championships for 50 years. This is Austria, and this is the Red Bull Ring.
With its relatively unchanged layout since 1996, the Red Bull Ring is known for creating dramatic racing, with huge braking zones and overtaking opportunities galore. Find the uphill apex at the Niki Lauda Curve, soar up the mountainside, and dare to brake later than the rest into the intimidating Turn 2.
Infield, shorter, and reverse routes of the Red Bull Ring are also included, with each route playable in all weather conditions. The new circuit is available to all GRID players in Career, Free Play, and Multiplayer.
New Career Expansion
Finally, Season 2 brings a further expansion to Career mode, with an extra 33 events using the Red Bull Ring and four Track Day Supercars. Ultimate Edition players can find the events in the new tab, from the Career menu. Experience our hand-picked selection of races, with two new threads, fresh Showdown events, and the latest Ravenwest Motorsport challenge.
As always, with a new season for GRID comes more technical improvements and community-requested additions. The headline in this area for Season 2 is the option to extend the length of races in Career mode - full details on this addition, available for all players, is on the Codemasters Forums. This follows the recent free addition of Session Search to Multiplayer - a public lobbies system that allows players to search and enter sessions created by others.
Sound like enough to Get Your Heart Racing? Be a GRID Ultimate Edition player to receive not just all of Season 2 and the Track Day Supercars, but all Season 1 – Hot Hatch Showdown content, and any future additions to GRID. The Track Day Supercars pack, consisting of the four exclusive cars and 33 Career events, will also be available to purchase separately on the Steam store.
For now though, get ready for six new supercars, a world-famous circuit, and much more with Season 2 of GRID.
Ships ● Commanders ● All in One ● In Pursuit of Premium ships ● ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-
If you’re interested in recruiting one or more of these remarkable Commanders, click on the "Participate" button to unlock access to some special combat missions. Completing them all will reward you with five Fleet of Fog ships and Commander Yotaroh!
VIII ARP Takao is a versatile heavy cruiser with powerful artillery, devastating torpedoes, high speed, and low detectability. The ship comes with the alternative Arpeggio permanent camouflage.
VII ARP Ashigara, VII ARP Nachi, VII ARP Haguro, and VII ARP Myōkō are effective heavy cruisers, capable of engaging any enemy with the help of their numerous 203 mm guns and 610 mm torpedoes.
V ARP Kirishima, V ARP Haruna, V ARP Kongō, and V ARP Hiei are high-speed battleships with long firing ranges for their tier.
ARP ships are Premium ships. This means that they earn more credits per battle, and their permanent camouflages provide bonuses to XP, as well as reduce the cost of their post-battle service. You can reassign Commanders from any Japanese ships to ARP ships without having to retrain them. XP earned on ARP ships can be converted into Free XP. ARP ships have a special set of unique visual effects for shell and torpedo hits, fires, and flooding.
Each ship comes with her respective same-name Commander with a unique voiceover from the anime series.
You can disable the display of additional content anytime. Starting from Update 0.9.0, all camo bonuses remain active even when their display is disabled. In this case, the standard permanent camouflage or, in the case where a ship doesn’t have one, the Type 5 camouflage will be displayed.

ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-
The anime and manga are set in the near future, at a time when the mysterious Fleet of Fog has seized control over the World Ocean. An enigmatic invincible squadron is made up of the reincarnations of legendary ships from the first half of the 20th century, with Kongō, Kirishima, and Takao being among them.
Equipped with a mysterious superweapon, and led by battleship Yamato, the new masters of the oceans block the humans from accessing the seas—destroying anything that dares to move offshore. Many corners of the earth, including Japan, find themselves isolated and cut off from the rest of the world.
Ships of the Fleet of Fog are commanded by their human-like Mental Models. Iona, the Mental Model of Japanese submarine I-401, chooses to defect across to the humans in a bid to turn the tide of the war against the Fleet of Fog.

Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask - Red Martyr Entertainment
A few weeks ago we published a news post that we are in need of voice actors for the two main characters in Saint Kotar. The response to the call was beyond our humble expectations, as during the next several weeks we’ve received more than 300 applications!
Cheers, today we celebrate as we made the final decision!
For the role of Benedek we’ve recognized a perfect fit in the voice of Mike Bodie, a talented actor whose portfolio includes AAA titles such as, among others, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Wolfenstein 2, The Division 2 and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
Nikolay will be brought to life by the talent of Michael Schwalbe, an experienced voice actor whose portfolio includes an amazing range of titles such as Devil May Cry 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Slay the Spire, Shadowverse and many more.
We are incredibly proud and excited to have such amazing talents on board with us, and we cannot wait for you to hear our characters come to life!
