You have exactly zero basis for making that assertion,.

What procedures do you use for wind and drift during the turning portions of a racetrack?

The terrain clearance area for racetracks and holds is designed with the assumption of some wind drift. The wind drift in a 360 turn is exactly the same as the wind drift in 2 180 turns of the same rate.
