Connection issues?
READ ME FIRST: Gran Turismo 7 Connection Issues
Gran Turismo 7, it seems, follows in the fine traditions of GT Sport, GT6, GT5, and even GT5P in being a bit sensitive to network environments. A connection that's fine one day (or hour) might be ropey the next, and while there's a lot of things that might be out of your control, the best way to...

I tried to do what that post said but where I live my only option is that T-Mobile 5G modem or my phone. With both I'm having trouble with gran turismo only, other games I play online normally...Connection issues?

Yeah, that'd do it.
It's likely that the latency is simply too high to allow you to take part in racing cars, where a third of a second of lag (which is a pretty reasonable estimate for a phone data connection) translates into about 20 metres at an average race track speed. While it barely matters for driving tanks or running about shooting or stabbing people, in racing games it's just too much.

Wireless networks are also more susceptible to higher packet loss than wired ones are, which some racing games don't tolerate well. You can check the quality of your connection on one the many online network quality test sites, like this one: https://speed.cloudflare.com (have in mind that the latency reported there is only for the connection between your phone/router and the test site.)

Yes, it is. Bandwidth is almost entirely meaningless, and unloaded latency is close to meaningless, but you're running up to 370ms - over a third of a second - for upload. 100ms is getting to the edge of reasonable, 200ms to the edge of usable. I imagine that if you were to use the in-game test you'll get a "poor" result.
Additionally I've just deleted the image in which you shared your IPv6 address. Not a good idea - although I am curious why it's saying you're in California when you've got your location set as Brazil here?

Hey man, welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it and we can try to resolve this racing issue. Have you tried the possibility of getting a fibre connection with ethernet cable out of your router, that can be hookd up to your PS5.
I cannot play GT Sport or GT7 without a cable due to poor latency issues (yes they exist even in the UK lol), this will greatly reduce your issue with online sport mode from what you showed in the video, in GT7 and hopefully get you into some good daily races.
Which part of the US are you in, California has numerous broadband/fibre providers liek AT&T, XFINTIY or Spectrum, surely they can sort out an internet solution for your home?
