run_lap method please?

What's wrong with my run_lap method please?

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.length = length
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)
        self.laps = laps + 1
