The intenary supplied as Appendix to the supplementary regulations was followed by the crew.

Whether they published the intenary in "correct" way is an organizer problem. I don't know if they did or not and doesn't look like you do either. The whole situation looks like you just looked at the supplementary regulations published by wrong website that wasn't updated and created a drama for no reason. (Especially the part where you start claiming they should be excluded).

Advantage gained by the crew by going early into service after the rally is finished is exactly 0.

Going into service after rally is finished early gives no advantage.
(theoretically you could gain an advantage if say your alternator doesn't work and you are running low on battery, but then you would stop the car in the meantime anyway)

But as written in the post before they just followed latest published Itenary, so there was no mistake or intent by the crew.

Missing the refuel and tire marking in the morning was a mistake. By missing the tire marking you could theoretically get away with using more tires than allowed, but doesn't look like tire wear was a problem in this rally. Also dunno if there were any limits on number of tires at all and whether they went back to mark the tires. I agree that 200 euro is a bit ridiculous penalty though. I remember a few times in WRC people would get 10s-ish penalties for similar stuff.

There is no sense to continue in discussion with you...

For sure it is mistake of the crew.

The derfinitive schedule is the one shown on the time card - not the roadbook or any other published schedule. We do not have that to look at. As Pluto says above, it can only be changed by an official bulletin. It sounds like the organisers of the event need some training in the regulations!
