Career

= Karting =

Tye first produced notable results in 2020, as an 11 year-old. He won the Kartmasters British Grand Prix, driving for Formula E driver Oliver Rowland's karting team.{{Cite web |title=Championships {{!}} Driver Database |url=https://www.driverdb.com/championships/kartmasters-grand-prix-iame-cadet/2020 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=www.driverdb.com}} He joined the grid for the IAME International games at the end of the year, finishing third with the same team.{{Cite web |date=2020-11-29 |title=International IAME Games |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2020/1507456-international-iame-games/results/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}} For 2021, Tye then competed in Europe for the full season, in the OKJ category. He had a tough year, and his best result was a 9th place finish at the end of the year at the South Garda Winter Cup.{{Cite web |date=2021-11-14 |title=Winter Cup |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2021/1534955-winter-cup/results/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}}

2022, however, was Tye's breakthrough year. He achieved three championship podiums in an encouraging year for his career, including winning the Champions of the Future series in the OKJ category.{{Cite web |date=2022-05-22 |title=Results Kartcom - Champions of the Future - Kristianstad |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2022/1558467-champions-of-the-future/championship/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}} He ended the year in the OK category, finishing 4th in the WSK Final Cup.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-13 |title=WSK – Final Cup |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2022/1563894-wsk-8211-final-cup/championship/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}} Tye then stepped up to the category for his final full year of karting in 2023. Tye put in some consistent results in his final year of karting, with a strongest championship finish of 8th in the Champions of the Future series, which he won the year before in a lower category.{{Cite web |date=2023-03-12 |title=Champions of the Future |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2023/1615897-champions-of-the-future/championship/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}}

Tye was announced to be joining Campos Racing for his first ever season in single-seaters. He would be joining the 2024 Formula Winter Series and the 2024 F4 Spanish Championship with the team.{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Ida |date=2024-02-06 |title=McLaren junior Bustamante among latest additions to FWinter Series grid |url=https://formulascout.com/mclaren-junior-bustamante-among-latest-additions-to-fwinter-series-grid/115490 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Formula Scout |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Ida |date=2024-02-02 |title=British karter Nathan Tye signed by Campos Racing for Spanish F4 |url=https://formulascout.com/british-karter-nathan-tye-signed-by-campos-racing-for-spanish-f4/115369 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Formula Scout |language=en-US}} Tye had a decent debut in FWS, driving against vastly more experienced drivers, as he picked up 1 pole and scored a best result of 4th on his way to 17th in the standings.{{Cite web |title=Championships {{!}} Driver Database |url=https://www.driverdb.com/championships/formula-winter-series/2024 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=www.driverdb.com}}
