Since it took me ages to find and since none of my friends could figure it out...
To race privately online with your friends you must:
Enter the GT life screen > Click on COMMUNITY >
From here you can either create a room yourself by clicking on the coffe cup (lounge icon) or join one of your freinds rooms.
To join a room you must highlight their name from the list and then select the "now playing" icon next to the coffee cup.
Only people on your PSN friends list will appear in the list.
The only other way to join is if you have 12 digit? room number which you can enter in the open lobby section. (so i'm told)
There seems to be an issue with the PSN friends list failing to populate sometimes. At the top of the list you can select ID, A spec or B spec, clicking between these options sometimes refreshed the list and the names came back.
As with the open lobby system there are some annoying issues with the private rooms: Anyone in the room can adjust the settings of anything, anyone can start the race and the most annoying thing is that you cannot invite your friends through GT5 you have to message them and explain to them how to get there which is a pain in the a** using the XMB with a six axxis
I hope someone finds this useful.
