Because Romeo Ferraris is a team of 16-20 people. Even if it sounds unbelievable, those guys build all the cars and run the WTCR team too. And they built around 10 cars in recent months, which all were sold. They wanted a 4 car WTCR team, but sold all the remaining cars, to have a bigger budget for the 2 car team.
Sold 2 to Australia, 2 to China, one new car will race in TCR Italy, one went to Sweden, at least one to the USA (which is run by Scuderia Corsa), as there are other 3 racing in the USA. There are two, which raced last year in TCR UK, so basically you cannot buy one, because they sold them, and it takes months to build a new one.
The problem with Opel is, that there is also no factory backing, and Kissling Motorsport who was responsible for the technical support went bankrupt. There is a new team who sells the parts etc. but with zero technical support.
