Peak Performance
PlayStation exclusive
PEAK PERFORMANCE is a racing game based on the Chevrolet Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The signature course, Pikes Peak Hill Climb, is a solitary climb up a mountain, with more turns on one track than most have in an entire game. This track, as with half of the other four courses, features a combination of dirt and pavement in both urban and rural settings, providing enough variety and difficulty to keep things interesting. Each of the game's 25 cars has its own feel, giving the game a good amount of depth and keeping the replay value high. Each car can also be colored, named, and completely customized, right down to the wheels.

Reception
The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. 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.'" In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.
