Abstract
[Abstract] The aim of this study is to analyse residents' perception of the social impact of the Formula E Grand Prix of
Santiago de Chile. A sample of 414 residents was collected through a questionnaire made up of 46 items regarding
possible positive and negative impacts. Descriptive analysis, confirmatory factorial analysis and cluster analysis were
performed. The results showed two groups with different perceptions of this sporting event: realistic (n=152) and
favourable (n=162). Sociodemographic variables referring to education level, civil status, income level, location of the
family residence and political orientation contribute to significantly differentiating the clusters. The variables related to
interest in the event, support for the celebration, attendance, participation and frequency of contact also contributed to
significantly differentiating the groups. Citizens’ high degree of support for holding the sporting event could be identified
by a positive social representation of the event.
