I know someone who took delivery of a Countach at the plant, and was given an introductory "flog-along" with Balboni at the wheel. He said not only did he never use hand-over-hand on the steering wheel, but he never touched more than the bottom 1/3 of the wheel at any point. He grabbed it at 6-o'clock with one hand and flicked it towards the apex to load the suspension up, and steered the rest of the way through the turn with his right foot. That's how you drive when somebody else is buying the tires.
