I tried this code and i don't realize what is wrong.

Somebody please can explain

racecar.py
class RaceCar:
    color = 'red'
    fuel_remaining = 100
    laps = 10

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = laps

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

first of all, the description of the task say that color and fuel_remaining are attributes of the class, yo don't need to create the variable and asign something you need to have that attributes only in the init method

next the problem say that you need to set the variable laps = 0

another thing yo don't need to make and instance attribute of laps because to asign already the value, and one thing that also is missing in your code, is that you need to pass in the instance method **kwargs and make the setattr function to receive anything else that is pass when you make the instance of the class.

hope you understand what i'm traying to say, i don't now yet how to upload the and image to explain better all that

the question before asket the laps to be created, it's tru just with 0 value. the **kwargs it should not be there, the quiz sepicify it. I passed this quiz already days ago, i had to create inside the init the laps attribute, self.laps = 0. thank you anyway that you answered me
