Despite being left without a permanent drive until 1995, Zoboli made an appearance at the Formula One Indoor Trophy in 1993, driving for the Jordan team alongside regular team member Rubens Barrichello. In the preliminary rounds he scored enough points to beat BMS Scuderia Italia drivers Michele Alboreto and Fabrizio Barbazza, but was then knocked out by his team-mate in the semi-finals. He did, however, take third place after defeating Alboreto again in an additional race for the position.
He returned to the event in 1995 after it was not held the previous year. On this occasion, he returned to his F3 employer Forti (now an F1 team) alongside Andrea Montermini and Giovanni Lavaggi, but was knocked out in the preliminary rounds.
