Romain Grosjean (right) topped the timesheets in both sessions today, continuing to show the pace we have seen on the previous three days of testing for the GP2 Asia series.
The ART Grand Prix driver set the fastest time in this morning's session, ahead of Bruno Senna and Marco Bonanomi. Sebastien Buemi finished fourth quickest for Trust Team Arden, while Karun Chandhok, following his crash yesterday, finished tenth.
Grosjean was quickest again in the afternoon, however a mistake at the entrance to the pi lane saw him damage his car. iSport's Bruno Senna finished second, ahead of Jérôme d'Ambrosio and Hiroki Yoshimoto.
Today's session marks the end of a four-day test ahead of Friday's opening round of the inaugural GP2 Asia Series.
Free practice gets underway at 8:30 (local time), followed by qualifying at 11:00 (local time). The first GP2 Asia race will commence at 13:35 (local time).
