Q C was in the same situation you were. He simply couldn't get back in. It's like PSN has cancer and its now terminal. It seems like it's getting worse. I decided to call into Playstation today to see if there was any information and possible solution to these network outages and random disconnects. ( I know I know its like calling a DR for help right after a ten car pile up)
I want to encourage everyone who reads this from snail to do call in and post in the forum link (that I will post here.) And file a complaint / inquiry as well as post about the issues we are seeing. Make sure you are specific to GT6 (and or any other games you might be noticing the issues with.) We want to try to specify the area of concern as much as possible so IF there is something that can be done about it. Then they will be able to do it.
It might be a long shot and it might not do anything. I feel however that we at least have to try who knows maybe we will get lucky and there is a fix for it in some way. sigh....anyways. here is the phone number to call playstation and inquire
Playstation support #: 1(800) 345-7669 US / CANADA
Here is the forum link to post about the issues I recommend to call first then post so they can tie your call in with your post to give it more attention.

Here is my post on the issues we are having either add to it or post your own:
(try to be as specific as possible in regards to GT6 the more detail they have the better. And the more people complaining about it the better.)

PSN random disconnects and incompatibility errors in GT6 online community play. What is going on?!?
I am trying to find some answers as to why the PSN netork at certain random times becomes unusable. We have noticed the issues while trying to play online with GrandTurismo6. This problem seems completely random but significant enough to completely shut down online playability.
The issue:
when you enter into the community online play and setup a room to race in. you will, at times when the PSN network is starting to glitch. Be kicked off of the PSN entirely. Or if you aren't signed out. you will not be able to get into rooms without first attempting to join countless times. Once in the room(if you are one the lucky ones) you won't be able to see some players and of course this will force you to have to leave the room and try again to rejoin. Which then starts the whole series of problems all over again. It seems very random and is happening to different people at different times and in different area's all over north america.
note*
we are in a league called SNAIL to summarize SNAIL is a racing league on the PSN. Hundreds or racers every week come together every sunday to compete in a friendly but competitive racing league.
These disconnections and random drops from PSN are constant and seem to be getting worse over the last couple months. I have posted in our SNAIL forums for others to also post their issues in there area's effected as well. It has become a big enough problem that I (and many others) feel something needs to be addressed if possible. Or at least some answer as to why these are occurring so often.
note*
Alot of attention to details goes into setting up SNAIL for clean smooth online play. We at SNAIL all understand to run a hardline while online. To clear the cashe in game and to make sure router traffic isn't an issue. We set up designated hosts for events who have better tthen average internet connections with respect to DL , UL , and ping ratings. All in an effort to avoid problems like the one currently mentioned above.
It would be greatly appreciated by hundreds of racers and peope alike im sure. If we could at least get some answers as to why the PSN network seems to almost shut down or simply stop working properly. The problem is constant and needs to be addressed or solved if at all possible.
Lets hope for the best and see if something can be done about the issues. Again I know this is a long shot but I feel like we have to try something. Because standing around watching this go on and on is maddening and getting old really fast!
I replied to your post. Thank you for taking the time to dig into the problem. I fear your time will be wasted, but agree that we need to at least let our problems be known.
