Connection issues means I have trouble staying connected to online lobbies. Few times I've tried and managed to stay connected there have been complaints that I'm causing lag.

Yes I do but wish we had a better structure to race.

There's a very easy way to test tunes online without joining lobbies. Go into your own lounge. That way you can race alone, but with the online physic differences.
The OP knows how to do that. That wasnt the question.

I do that but even then I have a problem connecting and staying connected.

Sometimes.
Not enough also for connection problem. I was racing the cappuccino cup, excellent race with very good drivers that respect each others ,but i had to give up because i can't stay in room over 8 people, i can't finish one lap and connection fall. Too bad.
Online in others rooms with unknown people, 80% of the time they don't respect anything and the race look more as Roman Ben Hur gladiator horse race than anything else. Very bad. Some few times it's ok and funny with fast fair play drivers. Very rare.

As much as possible, but I fight with my connection regularly, and even if I get mine perfect, then it'll just be someone else having issues, very hard problem to get around completely.
I can't help but think with a few less textures maybe we could all just connect without so many issues for so many people.

While connection/lag issues still hinder us, are you lounge racing/tuning free runs with friends or dont even bother with it is probably a better way to ask then I did in the OP.
Make sense????

The online races are my proving ground. Setting fast laps is great but a car has to be easy to drive and consistent, as well as perform off line passing maneuvers to be a complete tune for me.
Edit: My connection is awful so I tend to stick with very small rooms.

Yes I always tune online, but I don't get to race as much as I would like. I suffer from cronic pain so my health prevents me. It is funny people complain about bad drivers online but from my expierence it is no where near as bad as some people make it out to be. The problem I come across is getting people to join my lobbies lol. I really enjoy 450pp racing on S3 tires no assist, and it seems like GT5 players only want to run max power on R3 only. Of all the people on my friends list only about 5% race online but for some reason or another they only like private lobbies. Which is fine but no where near as exciting as random racers, only racing with friends gets boring after a few sessions.

I tune NASCAR cars (continuously tweaking) and I race online all the time because I like to enjoy the fruits of my labor, lol.

Depends how many friends you get.
In the lobby we were in, only 2-3 drivers it can get boring, but when you get 5-8 guys all from a friends list in your lobby it turns to awesome pretty quickly.
Speaking of which anyone that sees me in my lobby is more than welcome to join, 70 friends I usually only get the same 3-8 people join in at best.
