Ben Corfield was just 19-years-old when he died alongside Liberty Charris, aged 16, both from Dudley, on November 20, 2022.
The teenagers were killed when a blue Nissan Skyline hit several pedestrians who were gathered on the A457 Oldbury Road near the junction with Crystal Drive in Oldbury, at around 11.30pm.
Two others were also seriously injured in the collision, with Ethan Kilburn suffering a fractured pelvis, foot and right arm while Ebonie Parkes was left with fractured ribs, hips, leg and shoulder and a collapsed lung.
Dhiya Al Maamoury, aged 56, of Hobs Moat Road, Solihull, was facing trial this week after he pleaded not guilty in March to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
However, at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday, Al Maamoury changed his pleas and admitted causing the death of two teenage friends and seriously injuring two others.
Judge Michael Chambers KC imposed an interim driving ban on Al Maamoury until he is sentenced on November 8.
