After a few years in the Campeonato Nacional de Velocidade, Rocha gathered enough money and went off to the UK in 1996 to try his luck in the BTCC ladder. A decent season in the Ford Fiesta Challenge in 1996 was followed by a title charge in 1997 that ended when he was called to drive the old but reliable ProMotor Sport Vauxhall Cavalier in the final rounds of the 1997 British Touring Car Championship. The portuguese driver put up enough solid performances in the aging vehicle to score points in every outing, culminating in a second place finish and his first independents victory in the final race of the season, held at the Silverstone International Circuit. He finished 18th in the standings.
His performances were consistent enough that Vauxhall saw potential in him and, in an attempt for GM to expand its market into Iberia, signed him for the 1998 British Touring Car Championship as a works driver.
