Make sure your ps3 is updated to version 3.65, It stopped my freezing up.
Didn't help for me, still had a lot of freezes after this update.
musomaniakyep didn't help me either , still get the mini -freezes /framerate dropout , and laggy menu's too now that you mention it
i wish someone would find out , but as i stated in my other thread "mini freezes" if i do not allow the game to connect to the internet, i do not get any mini freezes or frame dropout while playing in career mode , or quick mode , as soon as i re-connect to the internet , then i get the mini freezes /frame dropout occuring while i'm playing career or quick mode
can anyone else try this and report back ??

I have not had a feeze for a long while. Never had a high speed freeze, or frame rare drops.
When I do get a rare freeze its usually in the menu area after I changed things (tuning, or paint, etc) and am clicking kind of fast.
I have autolog on all the time, use a wireless, with a PS3 slim 150gig since Sept last year.
For what it's worth, my PS3 is always connected to the Internet/AutoLog and I don't see any mini-freezes or frame drops.
I would not use a wireless connection if you are (at least for debugging). I wonder if it could be your Internet provider's security controls or throughput. Are you on cable, DSL, or ??? Have you run a bandwidth test (http://www.speedtest.net)?
I am getting around 20 MBps download and 2 MBps upload

heres my speedtest results , i'm on cable , and i'm wired

Just to add my two cents - I have freezes everywhere just like someone else stated before. I would say 50% of the time it freezes while loading a track and 50% while driving, and not necessarily at high speeds. The day before yesterday the game froze 4 times in the span of an hour and a half. 4th time was almost enough for me to throw my controller against the TV.
One of the freezes yesterday was when I launched the game and was in the main menu. A friend sent me a message. I opened XMB to reply, typed a long reply and the game froze so that I couldn't turn my PS3 off by just touching the button. I had to hold it to turn it off.
A couple of days ago I was trying to get the re*arded king of the hill trophy (which has got nothing to do with skill but rather with how well you can ram. If you can find opponents that is as the online seems to be totally dead in this game). I was in the semis and finally after a long wait I found an opponent. Accepted the challenge, the track started loading and THE GAME FROZE!!! I restarted my PS3 and it counted as a loss and I was back to the qualification round! FFS! I was furious to say the least. All this trying just for the stupid game to freeze! That is my last trophy for platinum and I suspect thanks to the amazing decision from devs to add trophies, which you can't affect, I won't be getting it. Shame I didn't realize it when I started going for trophies...
You have plenty of "bandwidth" but your "latency" (responsiveness) is very high. I usually have around 4-5ms in latency. Any one test may give erroneous results but if you consistently get high latency it "could" contribute to your mini-freezes. By the fact that yours goes away if disconnected from the Internet/Autolog seem to support a network issue.
S2U may be more susceptible to network issues than some other games. Too bad, if so, as Autolog is one the best features to come along in racing games.
Note, I think your "mini-freeze" and "frame dropout" issue may be unrelated to the high speed freeze that some seem to have with high PI cars and some tracks.
yes i definately tend to agree with you there bmwisme , but what if anything can i do about the latency ??

There may not be anything you can do but here is one link to an article on latency - the various causes and possible solutions (VERY little). Network routers (or route - many hops) and congestion are two of the primary contributors.
