But I noticed a few things right off, when you subtract from the fuel_remaining the result isn't being stored. You probably want to use a subtraction assigment operator there ("-=").
Also, your run_lap method should have self as the first argument, which you would also use to prefix the names of the the instance variables ("self.fuel_remaining" and "self.laps").

```class RaceCar:
def __init__(self,color,fuel_remaining,laps = 0,**kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.laps= laps
for k,v in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,k,v)
def run_lap(self,length):
self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining -(length*0.125)
self.laps = self.laps + 1
```
