In 2022, Malykhin competed in the British GT Championship for Allied Racing, winning the GT3 Silver-Am Championship alongside James Dorlin.[1][2] In the same year, he also competed with the same team in the GT World Challenge Europe and GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, as well as the first round of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup.[3][4] In 2023, Malykhin competed in the GTWCE, Endurance Cup and the Sprint Cup, all for Pure Rxcing.[5][6] He would win the championship in the Bronze Cup in the GTWCE and Sprint Cup.[7]

Malykhin competed in the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series in the GT category, winning the championship alongside Klaus Bachler and Joel Sturm.[8] Malykhin, Bachler and Sturm would also enter the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship in the LMGT3 category.[9] The trio began their season by winning the Qatar 1812 km race, with Malykhin's pace compared to other bronze drivers being credited as a winning factor by his teammates.[10]

During the same year, Malykhin would also join his WEC teammates in the GTWC Endurance Cup, competing in the Pro class. They finished eighth at the season opener in Le Castellet.[11]
