Default Any tweaks to minimise handling disturbances in crosswinds?

Hi all,
I recently got back from a 1.5hr drive home from work in my 245 in rather heavy winds...I noticed that the car was pretty heavily wafted to and fro by the crosswinds, to the point where it came close to changing lanes without my permission!

I've experienced similar with 745 and 945 cars I've owned, and I know that a car of this size and shape is always going to be susceptible to this sort of thing, but I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to help minimise or reduce directional instability in high winds?

The car is nice to drive and directionally predictable in normal circumstances, no pull to speak of and steering is nice and light, nothing to make me suspect a tracking issue or rack problems.
