When you have a crosswind, the hold will not be a race track pattern.
The outbound should not be parallel to the inbound if there is a
crosswind.

Why will[ the hold not be a race track pattern]? After the first lap, you
should know where the wind is


Because the round parts will be different radii. You hold constant rate, but
are blown downwind. So, one half circle is little, the other is big.
