ISI posted a new technology page explaining how they create cars. A few excerpts:
With every car we build, we try to work with the designer or someone who had direct involvement with the car in a competitive environment. There is a lot of trust required from manufacturers and teams when sharing information, even when they are helping us with a car no longer in active competition.
The goal of a simulation is to simulate the real world as accurately as possible, our in-house tools help us check the data we are given is correct, and is how we plug any gaps in that data. We can run full physics simulations, and this allows us to complete both the most complex and simplistic tests we need to, all within real-world constraints.
The most difficult data to acquire, is tire data. Many teams work under a non-disclosure agreement with tire manufacturers, and this means we occasionally have to purchase and test tires ourselves. We also use our own tools to verify any information we are given, or test various scenarios to build our own data.

And if you're interested, there's another good read on the History of the ISIMotor Engine here:
