Q-Games's new PixelJunk Racers content, dubbed 2nd Lap, will be released in April.
It will be a separate download available to owners of the original game for "a very small amount" - probably dollar or two, according to Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert (talking to GiantBomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/giant-bomb-gdc-2010-the-show-floor/17-2191/)). New players will need to pay the full, unknown price.
2nd Lap adds Trophies, YouTube video support and lowers the overall difficulty for a more "approachable" experience.
The biggest new feature is Ghost Attack mode, which automatically records a ghost to go with a time. These can be shared with friends and posted to the worldwide rankings board, where anybody can drive against them.
Q-Games' idea for 2nd Lap was to bring PixelJunk Racers up to parity with newer games like PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Shooter, which are both worth a look.
