Cant find the error

What am i doing wrong?

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    def __init__(self,color,fuel_remaining,laps=0,**kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = laps
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def run_lap(length):
        self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - length * 0.125
        self.laps = self.laps + 1

Hi!

Don't forget that when you make a new method for a Python class, the first argument needs to be self.

So instead of:

def run_lap(length):

It should be:

def run_lap(self, length):

Hopes this helps!
