Front overhang on prototypes.
How is the front overhang on prototypes measured? Is it from the leading edge of the front diffusor to front wheel centerline, or is it something else( rear overhang is the distance from rear wheel centerline to the trailing edge of the rear wing)?

Overhang is pretty straight forward. Front overhang is simply, front wheel centerline to forward most bodywork element, Rear similar, rear wheel centerline to rearward most bodywork element.

So does that mean the front diffusor leading edge, just to be sure?

I can't think of any circumstance where there's bodywork that extends forward of the front splitter, so, yes. But in theory it could mean anything that is the furthest forward.
