7,802 PointsI'm missing something...
I'm missing something simple I feel, but I don't know what.
class RaceCar():
def __init__(self, color, laps, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
self.laps = 0
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.__dict__.update(kwargs)
def run_lap(self, length):
self.length = length
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining - (length*0.125)
self.laps = laps + 1

On your run_lap method you need to perform the math on the right side of the equation with self.fuel_remaining and self.laps. You also need to remove the self.length = length line.
You can also remove the parenthesis from the class and laps from your __init__ parameters.
Really great job, sometimes little things like these just need a second pair of eyes.
Here's my passing code:
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.__dict__.update(kwargs)
self.laps = 0
def run_lap(self, length):
self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - (length * .125)
self.laps = self.laps + 1
