Do you have a wireless connection? If so, try wiring your ps3 into the modem.

If the rest of his internet connection is working fine, that is unlikely to be the problem.

Check your PS3's internet settings, what firewall type does it say it is? Is it NAT1 or NAT2? (if it's NAT3, you will have issues). Check whether it says UPNP is available. If not, try updating the firmware on your router. If that is too hard, try checking your router's Port Forwarding and enabling the ports that GT5 requires (google "PS3 GT5 TCP/UDP ports").

Failing that, is your disc scratched/dirty? Clean it and give it another go.

You could try rebuilding your ps3s database, I forget exactly how its done but Google it and you'll soon find out. My garage was taking far too long to load (even by gt5 standards) so I did a database rebuild and it seemed to help.

Edit: I believe database rebuild on a ps3 is a bit like a HDD defrag on a pc.
