can´t complete overloading methods task

Bummer! In your new drive method, make sure you call the drive method that takes an int. Pass it a 1, since that's the default

I get this message while trying to pass overloading methods task number two. I have no idea what should I do

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }

  public void drive() {
    drive (barCount);
  }
  public void drive (int lapsAmount){
    lapsAmount += lapsDriven;
    lapsAmount -= barCount;
  }
}

Your drive() method calls the drive(int lapsAmount) method, right? But you're passing the barCount variable as an argument for some reason. Just pass a 1 instead. The default should be that when you call the drive method with no argument, the kart drives a single lap.
