Britain's Oliver Turvey set the pace on the final day of Formula E pre-season testing at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, Spain.
Turvey topped the opening session of testing on Monday for NIO Formula E while Sebastien Buemi set the pace on the second day following a change in the layout of the circuit, resulting in a three second longer lap time.
On the final day, Turvey beat Buemi's best lap of the week on the new Formula E layout of the circuit, setting a 1:21.822 in the morning session, leading Audi's Daniel Abt by 0.124 seconds.
Techeetah's Jean-Eric Vergne emerged as the third fastest driver on the final day of testing, 0.256 seconds down on Turvey despite making contact with the wall in the morning.
Felix Rosenqvist slotted into fourth place for Mahindra Racing, just under three tenths adrift of Turvey.
Buemi was fifth fastest Renault e.dams followed by Jerome D'Ambrosio who set the pace in the afternoon session for Dragon Racing.
Alex Lynn was the fastest DS Virgin Racing driver in seventh fastest, leading reigning champion Lucas di Grassi who was eighth fastest in the second Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler entry.
Nico Prost was ninth and Mitch Evans completed the top ten after a late session improvement for Jaguar.
A late red flag caused by Andre Lotterer caused the afternoon session to be disrupted with ten minutes remaining, leaving only five minutes left on the clock for drivers to improve on their lap times – something that only Evans and Daniel Juncadella achieved, with the latter standing in for Nick Heidfeld at Mahindra.
Venturi Formula E's torrid start to season four continued on the third day of testing, with Edoardo Mortara and Maro Engel placing in 17th and 19th following ongoing gearbox issues as the pair battle it out for a drive with the Monégasque team.
