Reception

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.^[2] Next Generation said, "In the end, PP's racing weighs in at just above average. But with many unique options, including a 'create-your-own obstacle course,' Peak Performance should be enough to entice drivers looking for a 'different' racer as opposed to an improved version of 'more of the same.'"^[9] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.^[5]

Notes
