The 22-year-old, a promising international-standard diver, died after being struck by a blue Vauxhall Astra driven by Banasik, also 22, as he walked near the Hobbit Pub in Bevois Valley Road, Southampton, on April 27, 2007.
Mr Hustler-Brown was a first year criminology student at university in Southampton.
After the crash, Banasik fled the scene, dumped the car nearby and left for Poland the following day.
He pleaded guilty in December to causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident, failing to report an accident, driving without insurance and driving without a licence.
He will be sentenced at Southampton Crown Court.
