Tang joined the McLaren Young Driver Programme in July 2012 and moved to Guildford, England. Driving for Neale Motorsport, he became the champion of the 2014 Toyota Racing Series held in New Zealand.

In 2014, Tang attempted to defer his National Service (NS) in Singapore in order to keep on racing but was denied and he served his NS.

After finishing his NS, Tang joined the Porsche China Junior team after becoming the top racer in the Porsche China Junior Programme in December 2015. He also won a sponsorship to race in Class A of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia. Tang won his first Porsche Carrera Cup Asia race in the fifth round at the Fuji Speedway.

In 2016, Tang's contract with Porsche China Junior team was extended for another year and would represent PCCA in the Porsche Motorsport Junior Programme shootout.
