No, there is not. The only trusted authority which has ever existed is Microsoft itself and all intermediate cross-certificates signed by Microsoft have expired at least two years ago.

If you don't want Windows to check driver signatures on your own computer, then you can just turn it off. Windows provides several official ways to load drivers without proper signatures, but they are all limited to your computer and will not work when trying to distribute the driver to regular Windows systems without modifications. Microsoft is not like Apple, so Windows still allows you to switch off security features.

And why would Windows trust your fake timeserver's signature? Also, as explained above, the timestamp doesn't really matter for kernel driver signatures.
