Ransacking my memory for a story title

[Ignatz]

I vaguely recall a story in an anthology from the 70's in which driving was
a competetive sport, duel style. There was a digital control center that cleared drivers to compete, kept a point tally, etc. The central thrust of the story was that a pro driver gets challenged by a drugged out amateur. They play a game of cat and mouse that ends with the pro scoring a squeaker of a victory. I remember almost all of it, except for what the dang thing was called.

My curiosity was piqued when reading the latest from Richard Morgan, where a chapter was almost identical to the plot described above. So is Morgan a filthy thief? Does anyone else remember a story like this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like Death Race 2000 but that was a movie... Though it might have been taken from a book...

I don't know what it is, but the first thing I thought when you described that was of Morgan's "Market Forces".

Though I guess armoured car racing aint to rare in sci-fi writing
