As of May 1st, it looks like there is an entire new category of World Records....labeled "Free Distance" records.

From the Sporting Code:
1.6.5.8 Free Distance Flight
The way point(s) of free distance record flight performances may be declared post flight. The free distance
record types are:
• Free distance: a flight from a start point to a finish point with no turn points.
• Free out and return distance: a closed course flight having one turn point.
