Flying start often (pretty much always) starts in high gear. Nothing to do with SE or PR, it's just how the game works.

Try either more upgrades or some bot management (retry multiple times, Magnus is supposed to get a bit slower). All 3s should make it easy, others are reporting 1333333 to be enough. I've upgraded to all 3s while still in day 8 after first reports of 9.3 difficulty, but now that I've got to 9.3 myself I found it too easy with those upgrades ... so one less gold upgrade is surely enough to get you through. Anyways, with 3s i've started at about 15m behind him and got to a maximum of 28m behind just before T1. After that it's a walk in the park, you can pretty much push him through the lap, not just follow :)
