Hi Guys. I need help please.

I don't know whats wrong with my code. In my workspace I finally got it to work, but still getting a Bummer:Try again!

Please help.

racecar.py
class RaceCar():

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = laps
        for color, fuel_remaining in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, color, fuel_remaining)   

    def run_lap(self, length, fuel_remaining, laps):
        self.length = length
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125 + laps) 
Lambo = RaceCar("White", 100, 0)
print(Lambo.color)
print(Lambo.fuel_remaining)

class RaceCar:
    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        # two attributes the challenge asks you to add
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = 0

        # Set attributes for **kwargs. This is for values that are not defined in your
        # parameters. It sets attributes for other things the user might have entered.
        # such as RaceCar("blue", 100, model="Supra")

        for attribute, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, attribute, value)
            # In this case it creates an attribute for model in the new object and assigns
            # the value

    def run_lap(self, length):
        self.laps += 1
        # self needs to be on both fuel remaining because it is an attribute of the class
        self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - 0.125 * length
