Task 1 no longer passing

Not sure why, but I started to write the drive method, and I keep getting the error that task 1 is not passing anymore. Any ideas?

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven;



  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public void String drive() {
    lapsDriven++;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }
}

This looks a little strange....

public void String drive() {

Try fixing that and see if things get happier for you! Let me know if it doesn't!
