That is the coolant temp gauge. AND it sounds like you are getting the motor too hot.

Something must be wrong. I have driven my car hard in hot weather and the coolant temp gauge didn't even move.

When is the last time your changed the engine coolant? You may have a stuck thermostat or other cooling system issue.
