Daniel Abt was quickest again as GP3 testing concluded for 2011 at Jerez.
Driving for champion team ART, Abt had led both days of running at Valencia last week before returning to the top of the times today. The former Formula 3 Euro Series driver set his benchmark time in the significantly quicker morning session, lapping in 1m33.885s to beat Manor's Matias Laine by 0.055sec.
F3 convert David Fumanelli was third for MA Arden, followed by GP3 regulars Marlon Stockinger (Status) and Maxim Zimin (MW Arden), and Thursday pacesetter Tion Ellinas (Manor).
The afternoon session was interrupted by a number of red flags, and saw Laine on top by 0.370sec from 2011 Formula Abarth driver Robert Visoiu in one of the Jenzer cars, and Nigel Melker, driving for GP3 newcomer Trident.
This week's Jerez event was the last GP3 activity until testing resumes next February.
