GT is probably watched by a lot of people here (if they have access), since TG was very popular as well.
So far the beach buggy special part 1 was my favourite episode and generally I like GT.
However, there are a couple of things that currently bother me. 1. Celebrity brain crash - after 2 episodes this joke got old for me. 2. the American - IMO he's not funny at all. I bet there are a lot of other american Nascar drivers that actually are funny. 3. Some things are out of place / over the top (they feel very forced) - f.ex. Richard Hammond using a Dodge Challenger instead of an european sports car (in TG he usually used a Porsche) or his comment on men eating ice cream.

Yea, the celebrity brain crash got boring really fast but i guess its a inside joke/poke towards TG, especially the newer TG. Hopefully they will drop that feature pretty quick though. Indeed the new 'stig' doesnt have the same touch as the original TG, also weird just to see some fat bloke racing in a car while hes complaining about it And the last couple of TG seasons have felt kinda forced/scripted for me compared to older season, in GT this will probably continue, but i've sure missed those guys for not seeing them do their thing for a year or so. So i kinda try to look past the scripted stuff and enjoy the fun they are trying to have while playing with cars.

old Top Gear > Grand Tour > new Top Gear
Things I think the new show is missing out: - Music - Top Gear uses soundtracks from movies and video games, and it gives the clips some epic vibe. - Too mature - Since they are not on TV anymore, they can be more mature, and because of this, they are not as creative with their jokes as before on Top Gear. - Too scripted - The clips doesn't feel as spontaneous as before.
I'd like to them to be as good as the old Top Gear, and I want the new Top Gear be as good as the old Top Gear, but that takes time. More great show for me to watch.

is it just me who finds it odd that you hear them swear now, before it was bleeped out on TG.

I know old Top Gear was scripted but not to the depths this is. Not only that it's the same script over and over and over again. It really ruins a lot of the show for me. That said I did enjoy the Namibia special in the buggy's. Easily the best ones yet.
