Gilles Villeneuve's widow and two children are taking action to get back his possessions from a museum that bears his name.

The family is seeking items including personal possessions as well as trophies and memorabilia.

The theft late last year of a large bronze statue of her father was the “point of no return” that cemented the family’s loss of confidence in the museum.

The statue was created in 1984 as a tribute to the F1 legend who died in a crash during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix in 1982 .

On those smaller snowmobile circuits, only winners took home prize money, she said, which fostered a win-at-all-costs mentality for a man with a wife and two young children to support. “He had to make tremendous sacrifices and make sure that he would win,” she said. “That particular force of nature is something that I’d like to share and I’d like to be able to present.”.
