The Spaniard, who is beginning his fourth year of GP2, has switched from Racing Engineering to Super Nova for 2009 and set the best time of the day, ahead of former Super Nova racer Alvaro Parente, who set the pace yesterday following his move to Ocean Racing.
"The morning session was very good, we all went out to do qualifying simulations and I set the best time," said Villa. "In the afternoon we did a race simulation and some pit stop tests to finish the test.
"I think that we have worked very well throughout these days and to finish with the best time, and always being ahead, proves it."
Fellow fourth year GP2 racers Lucas di Grassi and Luca Filippi were third and fourth quickest respectively for Racing Engineering and Super Nova, with Romain Grosjean (Barwa Addax) and Roldan Rodriguez (Piquet GP) completing the top six.
Giedo van der Garde was first of the Main Series rookies in seventh, ahead of Asia Series championship leader Kamui Kobayashi.
