The maximum allowable drift to be applied outbound is 30 degrees.

If the drift is more than that then you could alter the bank angles for the turns, or in exceptional cases you could fly a wings level segment in the upwind turn.

If these measures are insufficient for maintaining the inbound track, you could ask ATC to fly inbound on a slightly different track.

Alternatively, don't bid to fly in windy weather.
