What Should I Do Differently

Hi, I tried out this exact code in workspaces and it works! I'm wondering what this question wants me to change?

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps = 0, **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 = self.fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)
        self.laps += 1

Perhaps your testing method was not as thorough as the challenge.

Did you see a message from the challenge saying "Bummer: Be sure to set the laps attribute to 0"? It was giving you a hint that you forgot to create and initialize "laps" when the instance is created.
