Just need to be mindful of the huge effort that goes into getting pole and it wouldn't be fair to have the same reward should race 2 pole be decided through a hat draw

I think having two qualifying sessions, one each for the order of race 1 & 2 is the answer, but it needs a twist. That twist would come in the form of drivers doing second qualy in reverse gear only. This would place far more importance on driver skill than car setup, so would level the field across the teams with different budgets. It would be a slower lap so you'd only get one outlap to build tyre temperature, one flying lap, and then a cool down lap. If you spin out you get a distance covered measurement rather than a laptime. All those who get a laptime will be ranked first, after which distance covered will be used. Those who install a front passenger seat as an arm rest for reversing will have to carry the extra weight in race 2.
