The Red Bull star joined Spa co-drivers Steve Owen and David Russell in giving Roger Lago's new Lamborghini Gallardo Extenso its maiden run during the single-day test.
Eighth fastest in the morning session, the Australian trio ended the day 16th in the 59 car field, seventh of the Pro-Am runners.
The car's best time of 2:20.38s proved just 1.3s adrift of the pace-setting #45 Marc VDS BMW Z4, shared by DTM stars Maxime Martin and Augusto Farfus.
The #63 Grasser Lamborghini Huracan and #46 Marc VDS BMW completed the top three, while the #59 Von Ryan McLaren – which Shane van Gisbergen will co-drive in the race – was fourth.
Lago will have his first drive of the Gallardo during the Bronze driver test on the Wednesday prior to the July 25-26 race.
Russell and Owen had been due to race a Reiter Lamborghini in last weekend's Spa ADAC GT round, but failed to take the start after a qualifying crash.
The Australian contingent for Spa also includes Brisbane-based Am driver Liam Talbot, who joined Ferrari squad Kessell Racing for Wednesday's test, ending up 46th fastest.
