A police decision to covertly follow an Audi weaving and speeding at night less than 30 seconds before a deadly, fiery crash is under scrutiny.

Jebriel Dandan, 24, and Seifeddine Malas, 25, died as their car crashed on the M4 Motorway in the Sydney suburb of Homebush West just after 12.30am on January 24, 2023.

Actions by the two police officers pursuing the vehicle before the fatal accident are being examined at an inquest which continued at Lidcombe Coroners Court on Monday.

The officers spotted the Audi crossing a median strip and travelling at high speeds up Centenary Drive, crossing lanes and weaving past a large truck, the court was told.

Senior Constable Miliatis was behind the wheel at the time and maintained a set distance behind the Audi for nine seconds to do a speed check.
