A foreign student who was allegedly travelling at almost 100km/h in a 40km/h zone along Camfield Drive when he hit a 17-year-old girl, causing her to somersault twice in the air before hitting the bonnet of the car, has been released on bail.
Chun Lai Yuen, 25, had to have proceedings translated through a Cantonese interpreter on Wednesday during his appearance at Perth Magistrate's Court where footage of the incident that took place in Burswood on Monday night was played to the court.
The court heard Yuen was driving his Honda Civic sedan when he met with others at a car club event in Jandakot about 6.30pm that evening.
Police said 371 vehicles were involved in the car meet that travelled from Jandakot, to Bunnings in Melville, before concluding at near Crown Perth.
Yuen was allegedly observed driving dangerously at the Bunnings stop, before it's alleged that he travelled at 'excessive speeds without any regard [to] road users or pedestrians'.

The court heard that around 200 people lined Camfield Drive with spectators lining both sides and gathering in a car park.
'Despite the conditions, the accused drove his vehicle south along Camfield Drive at a grossly excessive speed, later calculated to be 96km/h,' prosecutors told the court.
'Which was well above the posted 40km/h limit.
