The Formula One Indoor Trophy or Trofeo Indoor Formula One was a non-championship Formula One sprint held every year at the Bologna Motor Show between 1988 and 1996 (except for 1994 when it was not held).
Despite having Indoor in the name of the race, the race was staged outside in a parking lot outside of the arena that hosted the show. The first race was won by Luis Pérez-Sala. The last running of the event was the last non-championship Formula One competition and was won by Giancarlo Fisichella in a Benetton-Renault; the event switched to using Formula 3000 machinery from 1997 onwards; the event was rebranded Bologna Motor Show F3000 Sprint as a result.
