Not sure whats wrong, thanks!
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.laps = 0
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def run_lap(self, length, laps):
self.fuel_remaining -= (self.length * 0.125)
self.laps += 1

You also do not need to add laps as an argument, because self.laps is mean to increase by 1 for each time the method is run. The same for the init, self.laps is set to 0 so you don't need to pass it as an argument.
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.laps = 0
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def run_lap(self, length):
self.fuel_remaining -= (length * 0.125)
self.laps += 1
