The present disclosure relates to a rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine, the rotor assembly comprising a first rotor stage having a first disc portion with a peripheral first rim portion and a second rotor stage, the second rotor stage having a second disc portion with a peripheral second rim portion. The second rotor stage is axially adjacent and downstream of the first rotor stage and the second rim portion has an axial extension extending towards the first rim portion such that the axial extension of the second rim portion defines a rotor drum cavity between the first and second disc portions. The second rotor stage further comprises a drive arm extending within the drum cavity to the first disc portion, the drive arm being connected to the first disc portion by at least one connector. The drive arm divides the drum cavity into radially outer rim cavity portion and a radially inner main cavity portion. The rotor assembly further comprises a rim seal located between the axial extension of the second rim portion and the first rim portion, and a pressure equalisation path extending from the rim cavity portion to the main cavity portion.
