CONNECTION ISSUES
If you have had problems racing online previously then I'd strongly suggest configuring your PS3 network and router settings. Even if you're connection is for the most part stable, it's still a good idea to apply these measures. They will improve network stability for all your PS3 online games.
Step 1 : Turn off/disable other devices using network bandwidth.
Running your torrent downloads on your PC in the background is not helping.
Step 2 : Set your PS3 to a static IP address using the following step-by-step guide (you may want to leave UPnP enabled though).
Setting a static IP address on the Playstation 3 - PortForward.com
Step 3 : Configure your router to forward the appropriate ports to the PS3 static IP address.
- Select your router from the list on this page...
Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model - PortForward.com
- 'Click here to skip this advertisement...' in the top right hand corner of the screen.
- Select 'PlayStation Network' from the list
- Follow the on screen instructions to configure your router
Once you've applied the settings to your router perform an internet connection test from the PS3 Network Settings menu. If you've done everything correctly your Nat Type will be Type 2 - which is good. If you're getting 'Type 3' then go back and make sure you've configured your PS3 and router as per the guides.
OTHER FIXES
If you are still having issues you can Clear GT5's network cache.
You should habitually do this every occasion before an online race night anyway.
