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(self, length, fuel_remaining, laps):
        self.fuel_remaining -= length * 0.125

Hi Myles, You did everything correct, only you passed 2 extra parameter in run_lap function(i.e. fuel_remaining and laps) . It is already define in init so we can call that using self . Function will look like below 

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