See, what you’re calling spontaneity I’d call risk. Risk that a MCR accredited rider turns up in Glasgow, doesn’t realise our banking is 2deg steeper and goes too slow in a corner, slipping and taking out 20-30 other riders all using their best race kit, disc wheels etc.
One of our sessions would be a more controlled environment so hopefully that wouldn’t happen and if it did, the fallout would be a lot less.
That said, track league are their own entity and have their own interpretation/disregard for the rules and work that we do to try and keep riders and track as safe as possible so I don’t know what their policy is/has been/will become.

How many visiting riders to track league there have done that though?
I understand the motivation behind the rule (no-one wants to hit the deck, or see it happen), but could it be a sledgehammer is being used to crack a nut here?
Glasgow could well end up hosting WMTC one year, a MCR based rider goes and wins scratch race gold there but would be unable to enter the following weeks track league as no Glasgow specific accreditation. Is that right?

The change above seems to be Track League focused, a Mcr accredited rider couldn't now go to another Track League without re-accreditation at that Track first. Kind of kills any spontaneity / opportunity. In the comments on fb Kyleigh says it'll make racing safer.
