BEIJING, May 21 -- Two drivers who staged a real-life "Fast and Furious" drag race in downtown Beijing received respective jail sentences of five months and four months on Thursday.

Yu Muchun, 20, and Tang Wentian, 21, were charged for dangerous driving, according to the Chaoyang District People's Court of Beijing. Yu, who surrendered himself, will be jailed for four months and fined 8,000 yuan (about 1,290 U.S. dollars), while Tang was sentenced to five months and fined 10,000 yuan (about 1,613 U.S. dollars).

They both claimed they would not appeal.

The pair, driving a red Ferrari and a green Lamborghini respectively, raced on Datun Road near the Beijing National Stadium on April 11.

Both vehicles were severely damaged when they careened through a tunnel guardrail, before smashing into walls at speeds of more than 160 km/h. A woman surnamed Xu sitting in the Lamborghini had her spine broken. They caused an economic loss of 320,000 yuan.

The case caused quite a stir on the Internet, renewing criticism on reckless behavior and blatant lawbreaking by some members of the "second wealthy generation", the children of China's new rich.
