Bourdais wrecked the Toro Rosso F1 team's new car on its maiden appearance.
Toro Rosso are hoping the STR3 will make its full debut at next month's Turkish Grand Prix.
But Frenchman Bourdais, in his debut F1 season, crashed into a barrier at the Circuit de Catalunya on Wednesday.
Four-time Champ Car title winner Bourdais was eighth quickest of the 10 drivers in action, with a best lap of one minute 20.715 seconds.
His time was nearly 2.3 secs adrift of Fernando Alonso, who topped the unofficial timesheets in his Renault, albeit on slick tyres.
A number of teams are using this week's testing to evaluate slicks, which make a return to the sport next season.
Alonso comfortably pipped old adversary Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari by almost a second.
