Unable to pass Code Challenge

Hello everyone,

I can't seem to pass the second part of this code challenge.

The real odd part, is that when I run the code in WorkSpaces, the code works as expected, but I just cannot seem to pass the challenge, even so.

Thanks for your assistance!

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    color = "Red"
    fuel_remaining = 100
    laps = 0

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

Remove laps as a parameter from your init. The only thing laps will have in the init is initialization to 0.

Thank you, Kris!

I'm a little unclear as to why that caused the error. I'll have to look into what I was missing.

Thanks again!
