RaceCar laps iterator not passing exercise

To iterate the laps, I add laps=0 to the class itself and in run_lap(), I added self.laps += 1. This works in console, but does not pass the exercise. I was wondering what I am doing wrong.

racecar.py
class RaceCar:
    laps = 0

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

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

Hi Derek,

Your code works ok for me but doesn't pass task 3 of the challenge but I don't think you've reached that yet.

I suggest copying your code and refreshing the page then pasting it back in

Steve.

class RaceCar: laps = 0

def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
    self.laps = 0
    self.color = color
    self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
    for key, value in kwargs.items():
        setattr(self, key, value)

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