Stefano Coletti will head to the GP2 Series season opener in Malaysia having posted the fastest time of the second and final pre-season test at Barcelona.
The Monegasque driver, who endured a disappointing 2012 with the Coloni before switching teams to Rapax, finished the morning session with a best time of 1m29.055s.
This put him 0.162s clear of Marcus Ericsson and 0.398s clear of compatriot Stephane Richelmi. Jolyon Palmer took P4 for Carlin ahead of Caterham?s Sergio Canamasas and ART?s James Calado.
Kevin Giovesi was seventh ahead of GP3 graduates Mitch Evans and Daniel Abt, while another rookie Adrian Quaife-Hobbs was tenth.
The teams enjoyed more dry running in the afternoon, with Felipe Nasr beating Coletti to the best time by a third of a tenth of a second, though he was still three tenths off Coletti?s morning benchmark.
Tom Dillmann finished a strong pre-season in third place with new team Russian Time as he chases a race seat, while Fabio Leimer was fourth for Racing Engineering. Next came Quaife-Hobbs and Robin Frijns, who moved across from Trident to Russian Time for the final day.
Calado finished in seventh place ahead of Giovesi and Evans, while Conor Daly rounded out the top ten after returning to action with Hilmer Motorsport in the afternoon in place of Riccardo Agostini.
