TT, sans Google.

I thought motorcycle racing predated car racing generally, other than the Rallye type stuff that is, which was essentially an extension of gentlemans' grand touring.

Turns out I'm not such a clever bastard after all as there's no way I'd have got the £500,000 question which was:-

First performed in 1804, Beethoven's 'Eroica Symphony' was originally dedicated to which historical figure?

A) Marie Antoinette

B) Napoleon Bonaparte

C) Louis XVIII of France

D) Voltaire
